The Intersection of Finance and Policy

Join the World Affairs Council of Atlanta for The Commerce Club on Thursday, October 26 for a conversation between Jeff Sprecher, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE) and Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, and Dennis Lockhart, former President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. They will discuss a range of topics relating to the global financial and policy landscape and the impact on the economy, and how developing innovative technology and customer-centric solutions shaped the success of ICE.

From his $1 purchase of the Continental Power Exchange in 1997 that led to ICE’s formation in 2000, to the 2013 acquisition of the New York Stock Exchange, Sprecher and ICE have driven innovation and efficiency in global markets, data and risk management. Based in Atlanta, Sprecher has grown ICE into a Fortune 500 company that operates a global network of exchanges and clearing houses, and provides leading listings and data service
