The 2019 London Summit Awards
The yearly conference for the blockchain industry has arrived. The 2019 London Summit Award Conference highlights the top-performing firms and brokerages operating in specific segments. Traders, investors and industry insiders can all vote on who they believe best deserves the award in these segments. Specifically, the London Summit 2019 Awards rewards the top providers in trading platforms, liquidity, marketing, performance and eco-systems. These awards extend to the best brokers and best startup.
All that’s required for people to vote is register with the summit website. Go to the nomination form after logging in and review the available categories for voting. It’s recommended that individuals vote only on the categories their familiar with to ensure that the voting process isn’t corrupted. Ballots are being accepted until October 10th, 2019 and voting accounts are immediately closed are the summit is completed.
There are multiple brokerages that want to win in their respective field. Holding a London Summit Award drastically influences the growth of any product. Those brokerages that have managed valuable products and services to their retail clients are likely to win. In the past, there have been London Summit winners that have encouraged their fanbase through social media platforms to vote, which was abolished in 2019. This is what prompted all voting to be directed through the summit’s website, with a registration required. One vote is allowed per segment, and one registration is allowed per IP Address. This has nearly eliminated the risk of the voting period being corrupted.
Those who haven’t voted for the London Summit Awards in the past should know there are two rounds of voting. The second round of voting starts on October 16th and doesn’t end until the conference begins. Registering with the summit’s website will enable for reminders to be sent out when the second round of voting starts. This round limits the selection of available choices to three, with only one succeeding in winning the award. Summit Staff can resolve any problems relating to the voting process through their direct email.

Conclusion
The Forex Trading Space has grown drastically in the last twelve months, with new startups rising and old firms returning for glory. There’s a chance that the awards handed out this year could be given to some unexpected lucky winners. CMC Markets has taken substantial losses in the last four months, which has led multiple analysts to believe they won’t win the Best Retail FX Broker. Additionally, there’s been new liquidity providers which could stomp POP’s five years run at winning the liquidity provider of the year award. Regardless, whatever happens at this award ceremony, it’ll be a night to remember for the retail trading industry.
