Philippe Gelin, Managing Director of Shorex Ltd and co-founder of the exhibition comments: "SHOREX '98 is the only exhibition and conference that offers a one-stop-shop for private and institutional investors. In the same day at SHOREX you can visit providers of all types of financial services, meet the people who run the operation face to face and gauge the essence of the services. The event gives the visitors a global view of what's on offer, what are the investment strategies, what are the trends and finally what synergy exists between the various components that make the finance industry function. It is simply a must in the financial world this year."
