The Indian Options Conclave (IOC) is gearing up for its seventh edition, IOC 7.0, scheduled to take place on February 13–14, 2026, at the Surat International Exhibition and Convention Centre (SIECC) in Surat. Jainam Broking Limited will host the event.
Recognized as India's largest platform dedicated to options trading education and community building, the conclave is expected to draw over 10,000 traders to Surat. It will unite retail traders, seasoned market participants, investors, fintech players, and exchanges from across the country.
Building upon the success of IOC 6.0, which saw over 20,000 registrations and earned a Guinness World Record for the Largest Financial Investment Lesson, IOC 7.0 signifies a step forward in the conclave's evolution. The theme for this year is "Evolve," guided by the narrative "Learn. Transform. Evolve," which reflects a shift from focused options education to a broader, future-ready trading and investing ecosystem.
Milan Parikh, Managing Director and Chairman of Jainam Broking Limited, commented that the conclave mirrors the growing maturity of India's trading community. He noted that as markets and technologies evolve, IOC 7.0 is designed to help participants move beyond knowledge towards transformation, enabling adaptability, collaboration, and confident decision-making in a dynamic market environment.
Since its inception in 2020, IOC has grown from a gathering of 1,500 attendees into a nationwide movement shaping structured participation in India's derivatives markets. The platform has consistently expanded in scale and impact, responding to the rising demand for practical market education, live trading exposure, and peer-led learning.
Early registration trends for IOC 7.0 highlight its expanding national footprint, with participants already registered from over 25 states and Union Territories. While Gujarat, led by Surat, continues to be a strong hub, growing interest from Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Delhi NCR, and Madhya Pradesh highlights the increasing national interest.
The event will feature an exhibition zone, and access to live trading on Day 1. Attendees can purchase meals at the venue and access a networking zone with tea and coffee.
