Created as the premier event bringing both the most innovative minds in banking together with the exploding FinTech community, Finextra Future Money returns to London on April 21 and 22 for an exciting two day event.
Encompassing three main themes – Connections, Society and Startups - Future Money 2015 aims to lead the debate and discussion around the evolution of the FinTech space, the impact of the digital revolution and how we, as a society, will deal with money in the future.
Connections, in the morning of Day 1, will examine the culture shift at banks as they strive to remain relevant and innovative, the growing importance of the blockchain, as well as the changing face of identity, social networks and 'cool' innovative technologies. Society, in the afternoon of Day 1 will examine financial innovation from the eyes of the consumer – the new normal in retail payments and commerce, the rise of the sharing economy, and a look at how we will view money in 30/30. On Day 2, Future Money brings you Startups, which will examine strategies for how banks can be more agile in the digital age as well as examine the range of funding and investment options for the new FinTech startup community.
On day 2 Future Money hands over to our partners at Innotribe as they kick off the London branch of their global startup challenge. As part of the partnership with Innotribe, Level 39 and Startupbootcamo FinTech, Future Money will include an exclusive startup village to showcase the wide range of new and growing companies supporting this space.
