Gen10 is proud to be a Gold Sponsor of this year’s Digitalisation in Commodities Online, taking place on Wednesday 19th November. As long-standing advocates of smarter, more connected commodity trading, we are thrilled to support this global online gathering of industry leaders and innovators.
As part of our support for the event, Gen10 CEO and Founder, Richard Williamson, will be moderating the panel session The Next-Gen of Intelligence for Commodity Trading Desks, live from 14:30 to 15:15 GMT.
This session brings together leaders from commodity trading and technology firms to explore how cutting-edge data strategies and tools are revolutionising decision-making in commodities. As digital transformation accelerates across the sector, AI-powered solutions become more prevalent, and volatility and trading risks increase, commodity firms are under pressure to shift from reactive processes to data-driven intelligence. And this panel will provide real-world insights into how it’s being done.
What to Expect from the Panel
Richard will guide the discussion across three critical dimensions of trading intelligence:
1. Alternative Data for Trading Insight
Discover how non-traditional datasets, such as drought forecasts, power grid loads, and infrastructure disruptions, are reshaping the way traders anticipate market movements. These data sources are enabling more accurate price discovery and demand forecasting, giving traders an edge in a volatile market.
2. From Noise to Signal
One of the biggest challenges in digital commodities trading is not data scarcity, but data overload. The panel will explore techniques for structuring and filtering complex, fast-moving data to create actionable insights. Learn how analytics and AI are being used to cut through the noise and deliver real-time clarity — helping teams focus on what really matters.
3. Closing the Data Gap
Why do some trading firms thrive with data while others lag behind? This part of the discussion will examine how top-performing firms are turning intelligence into action, building proactive strategies rather than simply reacting to market events. You’ll also gain a vision of what a next-gen “commodity intelligence desk” looks like — and how to measure the business impact of your data investments.
Ultimately, the session will explore how commodity traders can and are moving beyond compliance-driven reporting to data-driven commodities trading strategies – and the value they are gaining by doing so.
With Richard’s deep expertise in CTRM and commodities digitalisation, this panel promises practical insights grounded in real industry challenges as well as actionable solutions.
