STA Meetings

Usually only Full Members and Associate Members may attend the monthly STA meetings. However, you may also attend a monthly STA meeting as a non-member, either as a guest of a member or by contacting [email protected] and asking to be added to the guest list.

At the monthly meetings a technical analyst, broker or hedge fund manager, etc. presents the latest techniques, research, or forecasts using technical analysis. Each talk begins promptly at 6.30pm, lasts about 45 minutes, and is followed by a 10-15 minute question and answer session. The evening is then followed by a networking drinks reception from 7.30pm until 8.30pm.

The July and December meetings have always been viewed as more social occasions at which the Summer and Christmas ‘parties’ are held. At these events canapés are being served, together with the refreshments usually provided at monthly meetings. In previous years the talks at these ‘parties’ were also of a more light-hearted or historical nature, with an emphasis as much on entertainment as education.

Every alternate year an annual dinner is held at the National Liberal Club at Whitehall Place in London. This members as well as non-members can buy tickets for. It is a social evening in magnificent surroundings with an after dinner speaker and the use of a lovely terrace overlooking the Embankment and the Thames.

Members who cannot attend the monthly meetings in London can view these on the STA website a few days after the event. Following the success of live virtual webinars during the Coronavirus outbreak, a number of meetings are now run virtually. Meetings are recorded wherever possible for those unable to access in real time.

Regional Chapters

While the regular monthly STA meetings are held in London, there is also a chapter in Ireland. The Irish Chapter is being led by Alan Dunne.

Should you wish to get in touch with Alan Dunne or be interested in running an STA chapter, please contact Katie Abberton at [email protected].

Chapters are supported by the STA Board and Administration, who help with mail shots, finance and, where possible, in the provision of speakers for the meetings.

Previously there have been occasional chapter meetings in other locations, notably in the Manchester area, but we are currently short of volunteers who would be prepared to organise such meetings ‘on the ground’.

If you would be interested in running a chapter in your area, please contact Katie at [email protected].

STA Scotland, Northern England and Welsh Chapters

The STA is interested in promoting meetings in Scotland, North of England and in Wales. If you would like to participate in these as an Associate or a Full Member of the STA, please contact Katie Abberton at STA Administrative Services.
