The options industry has experienced phenomenal growth in the last few years, a testament to the effectiveness of options as a risk management tool used both by retail and institutional customers.

The Options Industry Council and the Futures Industry Association have partnered to coordinate the third New York Equity Options Conference. Last year, more than 350 delegates representing more than 138 firms attended, including representatives from brokerage firms, funds, exchanges, regulatory organizations, law firms, service organizations, and members of the press.
