Banking on the Blockchain: Since our first FinTech conference in 2015, FinTech has continued to evolve at an astonishing rate. New challenges, big changes, and moonshot possibilities have arisen – and we’re gathering FinTech experts together this May to take look at what has been accomplished so far and what’s coming next. There is still vast potential for innovation – join us as we discover more with industry leaders and insiders, who will deliver a ground-floor view.
Discussions and topics will focus on the blockchain’s role in transforming everything from banks and money to insurance and real estate, as well as alternative financing and global implications of fintech’s evolution.
