Quant Meetup Shanghai 2026

On May 21, 2026, we hosted our first quant meetup in Shanghai, bringing together the local quant trading community for an evening of networking and panel discussions. We hosted it at our largest venue to date—and still reached capacity.

The night opened with a discussion on the move toward 24-hour U.S. equity trading and what it could unlock for firms outside the U.S. The conversation featured perspectives from both the sell side and trading venues, with panelists from BofA Securities, Blue Ocean, and NYSE.

Afterward, speakers from Metabit, Lingjun Investment, Nasdaq, and Two Sigma discussed the structural differences between U.S. and Chinese markets, and how those differences are shaping trading and strategy decisions.

Thank you to Metabit for co-hosting, to our panelists for sharing their perspectives, and to everyone who attended for making this our most successful event yet.
