Quaternion sponsored a QuantLib User Meeting at the Chartered Accountants’ Hall, One Moorgate Place, London EC2R 6EA on Tuesday 12th July 2016.
“The QuantLib project is aimed at providing a comprehensive software framework for quantitative finance. QuantLib is a free/open-source library for modeling, trading, and risk management in real-life. […] Appreciated by quantitative analysts and developers, it is intended for academics and practitioners alike, eventually promoting a stronger interaction between them.” (http://quantlib.org)
With this meeting we want to provide a communication platform for both QuantLib users in the industry and QuantLib’s developers, contributors and creators, to help propagating QuantLib’s usage. This meeting continues a tradition of annual user forums and brings this event back to London where the first event of this type was held on January 18th, 2011.
