FIF would like to thank Cboe Global Markets for hosting FIF for our largest Chicago event to date! The record breaking evening was thanks, in large part, to the two strong, thought-provoking panels and the great event space. FIF has partnered with Cboe on this annual event for more than a decade, and the events seem to get better and better each year. FIF would also like to thank all of the expert panelists who lent their time to sit on the panels. We look forward to seeing you all again in October 2026.
