We are delighted to invite you to this year's annual Information Mosaic User Group which will be held at Druids Glen Hotel and Golf Resort in County Wicklow, Ireland.

Each year, the User Group Forum provides an opportunity to network with other members of the IM user community, to share industry insights and to contribute to future product development with agenda sessions tailored to post-trade operational and technology specialists.

This year the theme of the Forum is 'Disruption in post-trade' and will look at how financial services firms continue to operate in a highly disruptive environment with a rapidly evolving technology landscape, continuing regulatory change and general macroeconomic uncertainty. New market entrants, driving innovation in business models and regulatory requirements such as SRD2 and T2S, are further intensifying headwinds for financial institutions in the post-trade space.

In addition, technological advances propelling legacy transformation and the transition of operating models towards managed services and enterprise utilities, present both challenges and opportunities for growth.

During this year's Forum, we will look at how the industry is adapting to address these disruptors and how navigating through these forces and responding to opportunities and risks are essential to success.

We look forward to meeting you in May and will share further information on the event over the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you have any questions please contact your account manager.
