Dear IM members,
we are organizing a tour of the Chicago Board Options Exchange as an off-program event during the next AOM Annual Meeting.
The tour will take place on 10 August 2018, 2-3.30pm. It includes 1-hour tour of the Cboe trading floor during active trading and ½-hour Q&A session.
If you're interested in joining us, just write to both Andrea Lagna (a.lagna@lboro.ac.uk) and Daniel Beunza (dbe.ioa@cbs.dk).
Please let us know by 20 April. Places are limited and the cost is $25 per person.
Cboe is one of the largest options markets in the world and the first exchange to list standardized options in 1973. Since then, Cboe pioneered several financial innovations such as the Cboe Volatility Index and, more recently, Bitcoin futures. This tour is a great opportunity for management scholars to experience the fascinating world of derivatives trading in Chicago.
Here's a very interesting video about the Cboe trading floor tour: https://vimeo.com/17829397
We look forward to seeing you there!
Andrea and Daniel
