Biennial, members-only conference of FISD (part of the Software & Information Industry Association) on the sourcing, compliance and delivery of financial and market data; runs Sunday to Wednesday with an optional weekend tour programme and an afternoon Engineering Stream. 2019 was the 13th edition (the count skips numbers: 2024 was billed as the 16th and 2026 as the 17th biennial). No edition in 2020 or 2021; the 2022 Prague edition followed. Next edition (presumably 2028) not announced as of 2026-11-09. Social accounts are FISD's (Twitter, LinkedIn) and SIIA's (YouTube), not conference-specific. The wfic.net domain was not FISD's in 2019 (Wayback shows an unrelated spam site), so the 2019 edition is documented from an event listing.
