France Trading Conference 2025

The FIX Trading Community returned to Paris this year for the France Trading Conference 2025, taking place on 20 November at the Étoile Business Center. The one-day event brought together representatives from across the financial markets to address the most pressing issues, challenges and opportunities shaping the region’s electronic trading landscape. The program featured a series of industry-focused presentations and panel discussions, offering valuable insights into the evolving dynamics of trading technology.

Exactpro has been successfully supporting the industry’s technology transformation for over 16 years and was delighted to join the event as a long-term FIX Trading Community member and brand sponsor. The Exactpro team of Iosif Itkin, Ian Salmon, Anna Maria Lukina and Alexey Zverev attended the event to catch up with participants and introduced them how Exactpro’s AI-enabled software testing approach is used to enhance the quality, operational resilience, stability, capacity and availability of FIX-related platforms and other critical financial infrastructures globally.

Introduction to AI Testing

A special part of the exhibition stand program this year included presenting Exactpro’s new book – Introduction to AI Testing: Guide to ISTQB® CT-AI Certification (now available on Amazon and the BCS Bookshop). Participants had the opportunity to visit the Exactpro stand to get a complimentary copy or receive a brief introduction and instructions on ordering its more eco-friendly digital edition.
