SmarterMarkets™ Presents: Scenes from FIA Boca 2025

Full interviews from the conference

Brought to you in part by Abaxx Exchange

SmarterMarkets™ Presents brings you exclusive interviews from FIA’s BOCA50 – the International Futures Industry Conference.

SmarterMarkets™ returned to FIA Boca to be a part of BOCA50, the 50th anniversary of the International Futures Industry Conference. We partnered with the FIA to interview a wide-range of futures industry participants.

We asked them how long they’ve been coming to Boca, how the conference has evolved, and what keeps them coming back. We also asked them to share with us the big topics and issues they were at Boca this year to discuss with others and what new derivatives products and financial technology they were most excited about.
