At FIA Boca50, EP3^® by Connamara Technologies was proud to sponsor the Pickleball Clinic for the second consecutive year, during a milestone year for both the event and the industry.

2025 marked the 50th anniversary of the Futures Industry Association’s annual Boca conference.  As the industry gathered at The Boca Raton resort to reflect on five decades of innovation, deal-making, and market growth, the spirit of connection and competition was alive and well, both on the exhibition floor and on the pickleball court.

Our sponsored clinic was a standout event, with registration once again exceeding capacity. Players of all levels brought their best to the game, and fortunately, there were no injuries (that we know!) The event also provided valuable networking opportunities, bringing together professionals from across the capital markets industry, including players from companies like Eventus, Alvarez & Marsal, Nodal Clear, and Connamara Systems, our original entity.

Congratulations to our tournament winners who took home premium Dink paddle sets. 

While we were there, Connamara Technologies was proud to showcase EP3, our exchange and clearing infrastructure technology that powers exchanges worldwide. At least, we tried to, between epic rallies and last-second saves. 

Thank you to everyone who participated, spectated, and helped make the Pickleball Clinic one of the highlights of Boca50. We look forward to seeing you again next year, paddles ready!

Although Connamara has been a well-respected name in capital markets technology for over a quarter of a century, our EP3 exchange platform has only been part of the conversation for 3+ years.

We launched EP3 to fill a demand in the marketplace for an end-to-end, asset-agnostic, cloud-first, exchange and clearing solution that offers fast deployment and cost-accessibility.  The quick take-up of EP3 has exceeded our every expectation.  

With innovative customers like Interactive Brokers’ ForecastEx predictions exchange, ZeroHash’s stablecoin platform, Brazil’s BEE4 tokenized stock market and ArchitectX’s perpetual futures exchange, EP3 has quickly established itself as a new breed of technology for the next generation of exchanges. 

The TabbFORUM NOVA Awards honor the financial industry’s commitment to technology-driven innovation by recognizing 40 organizations for their outstanding achievements.  As TabbFORUM noted in placing Connamara in this top 40:

“Experience with traditional markets and EP3’s fully integrated technology propelled EP3 to become a go-to vendor for start-up marketplaces”

Connamara’s fellow NOVA Award recipients include some of the largest and most forward-thinking players in capital markets today, including:

•  Exchange stalwarts like ICE, CME Group, NASDAQ, SIX, and CBOE

•  Exchange rising stars like MIAX, EDXM, IEX, OneChronos and Crossover Markets

*  Fintechs offering enabling technologies for capital markets like BMLL, Exegy, Chainlink and Broadridge.

To be included among this impressive group of innovators is truly a monumental honor for Connamara and EP3.

FIA’s Boca conference always delivers, and BOCA50 was no exception. In fact, it was an unrivaled success by any measure – record-breaking attendance, extraordinary speakers, lively panels, and, not to be forgotten, Cheap Trick!

Here’s how it went for Connamara Technologies, by the numbers:

📈 5 of our most innovative exchange customers in attendance—up from 3 last year. Exciting to see the growth of EP3!

🤝 30 scheduled meetings with customers, prospective customers, regulators and interested investors.—a new record for us. Still tallying up the countless “bump-ins” that make Boca special

🏓 2nd time hosting the pickleball clinic. Some have taken to calling us the “pickleball people”, thankfully others know us for being the “default DCM technology”

🏆 The 22nd Boca for our founder, Jim Downs. That’s more than two decades of market insights, relationships, and innovation.

We’re already looking forward to Boca2026.
