The DefconQ Events are back, and this time, we’re taking over The Globe. Well...the Globe at Moorgate.

DefconQ x Squarepoint taking over the Globe

I am excited to share that DefconQ x Squarepoint are joining forces to invite all KDB/Q developers, engineers, and enthusiasts to a community get together and networking event in the heart of London.

And this one is going to be special, for two big reasons:

First: With the backing of Squarepoint, one of the largest KDB/Q users on the street and a firm operating at the forefront of quantitative trading and large-scale data engineering, you will get the chance to connect with some of the strongest KDB/Q minds in the industry.

Second (and even better): Squarepoint’s recruiters will be there in person, ready to chat about open roles across engineering, quantitative research, and infrastructure. If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to build, scale, and operate KDB/Q systems in a top-tier quant environment, this is your chance to ask the people doing it.

Opportunities like this don’t come around every day, we hope you won’t miss it. Light refreshments will be provided.

What to Expect​

  • Welcoming talk by Squarepoint
  • Informal networking with the DefconQ community
  • Deep technical conversations about KDB/Q in production
  • Insight into how leading hedge funds leverage time-series architecture
  • Direct access to recruiters hiring for real, impactful roles

See you at the Globe.

When: Wednesday, 18th March, from 18:00
Where: The Globe, Moorgate
