Many operational challenges require industry-wide collaboration. This reverse town hall flips the traditional format, putting buy-side leaders at the center of the discussion to surface shared pain points, challenge existing approaches, and identify where collective action can drive meaningful change. The session will focus on practical opportunities for collaboration across buy side, sell side, and market infrastructure to improve efficiency, reduce risk, and accelerate industry-wide innovation. 

• Pinpointing high-impact areas where industry collaboration can address systemic inefficiencies and operational risk
• Exploring practical approaches to sharing data, adopting common standards, and improving interoperability across firms
• Reducing duplication of effort by aligning on processes, controls, and infrastructure where competitive differentiation is limited
• Deliberating the role of industry utilities, vendors, and consortia in driving scalable solutions
• Translating discussion into actionable next steps for collaboration beyond the event
