Member Satisfaction Research
FISD completed the collection and compilation of member satisfaction responses. FISD Executive Committee members conducted interviews and online surveys were sent to those members not available for personal interviews. A total of 67 members responded. The topline results were very favorable, with 88% of respondents reporting that they were “Satisfied” with the value of their FISD membership. FISD will provide a brief to the full membership shortly.
WFIC 2022 Sponsorships Are Selling Fast
World Financial Information Conference (“WFIC”) Sponsorships, which are now available, typically sell out well in advance of the event date and we expect this to be especially true this cycle, as exhibitor inventory is limited. In addition, 2019 sponsors receive first priority to renew their options until September 30th. For this reason, we suggest past sponsors to contact FISD now to reserve their packages, and for potential new sponsors to indicate their interests so that we can prioritize them. Please contact Tracey Shumpert if you have any questions.

- Technology: cloud, software development, AI/ML, data management
- Issues & Trends: ESG, commercial trends, market regulation/structure
As an FISD member, you and others at your company have access to a member-exclusive discount on the FISD FIA exam + eTraining bundle.
