Eligibility
End User Organizations
An “End User” organization is a trading organization such as a broker, exchange, hedge fund, prop shop, etc. If your firm is an End User organization and a member of the STAC Benchmark Council (see this list), you may register above. If your firm is an End User organization that is NOT a member of the Council, please go ahead and register, then sign up for a free Observer Membership, or we will reach out about membership.
Infrastructure Vendor or Professional Services Firms
Infrastructure vendors supply software, hardware, or services that do not include business logic. Professional Services Firms are what they sound like. Employees of Vendor Firms and Professional Services Firms require a registration code. If you do not have one, please see the vendor registration instructions and FAQ.
Business Application Vendors
A business-application vendor (BAV) is an organization that does not provide infrastructure but rather provides software or services that deliver business-level functionality to End User organizations. In their capacity as users of technology infrastructure, BAVs may send employees in purely technical job functions (architecture, development, etc.) to STAC Summits under the same terms as End User organizations (above). If employees in other functions such as sales and marketing wish to attend, then the firm needs to follow the vendor registration instructions.
