Gar Wood Securities is proud to be a sponsor of STAC’s 100th Annual Mid-Winter Meeting, taking place January 21-22, a landmark event celebrating a century of leadership, innovation, and collaboration across the trading, investment, and fintech communities.

For 100 years, STAC has served as a vital forum for market participants to engage in thoughtful dialogue around the evolution of capital markets. Its annual Mid-Winter Meeting continues that legacy by bringing together regulators, institutional leaders, technology innovators, and practitioners to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities shaping today’s financial landscape. This year’s program explores a wide range of timely topics, including market structure and regulation, listed options, ETFs, compliance and legal considerations, emerging financial technologies, tokenization and crypto, off-exchange liquidity, and the future of trading in an increasingly global, around-the-clock market environment. The agenda also reflects on the industry’s history, including the evolving role of women in markets and the long-term progression of options trading.

Gar Wood Securities is honored to support a forum that encourages informed discussion, responsible innovation, and collaboration across the industry. Sponsorship of STAC’s centennial meeting reflects our ongoing commitment to engaging with the institutions and individuals shaping the future of the markets we serve.
