Why this conference
Fintech is entering its next stage, and the pressure is coming from every direction.
Sponsor banks are raising expectations, payments are moving faster, fraud and financial crime are becoming more sophisticated, and artificial intelligence is changing how financial institutions operate. At the same time, new technologies, regulations and business models are creating opportunities across the industry.
We'll start with a State of the Union for fintechs and sponsor banks, move through partnerships, oversight, payments, fraud and AML, AI, a real-world case study, digital assets and the next generation of talent, and close by looking ahead to 2027 and beyond.
