Online Trading Expo 2026 to launch in Hong Kong

The event arrives at a time when APAC has become a priority market for online trading firms. Retail participation remains strong, mobile-first distribution continues to shape user behaviour, and international brokers are putting more focus on regional expansion, local partnerships, and market access.

Hong Kong gives the event a strong commercial backdrop. The city combines established financial infrastructure, a well-known regulatory environment, deep international links, and direct relevance to the Greater Bay Area. For firms operating across brokerage, payments, and trading services, that makes it a practical location for business development and regional networking.

Organisers expect more than 5,000 attendees and over 40 exhibitors during the two-day event. Confirmed participants include Alchemy Markets, MH Markets, and Harmovest Capital, alongside fintech and payments companies serving the online trading sector.

For introducing brokers and affiliates, the event offers direct access to brokerage brands, business development teams, compliance decision-makers, and service providers. For brokers, it provides a concentrated environment for discussions around client acquisition, local traffic, payments, and cross-border onboarding.

The conference agenda will focus on regulatory developments in APAC, partnership structures, payment infrastructure, acquisition strategy, and the role of technology in brokerage operations. Scheduled speakers include Bobby Winters, Group COO at Alchemy Markets; Bruce Ahn, Chief of Staff at Partisia Blockchain; and Marco Chung, Director of Sales and Relationship Management at NYSE.

The speaker list reflects the wider shift in the industry. Online trading companies are no longer approaching Asia-Pacific as a secondary expansion route. The region is now central to decisions around compliance, payments, partnerships, and distribution.

A Hong Kong event gives market participants a place to compare operating models, meet regional counterparties, and assess where brokerage growth in Asia-Pacific is heading next.

Attendance is free for industry professionals, IBs, affiliates, and qualified participants. Registration is available via the event website.
