#FS17: Rethinking Financial Services (Really)

By Corey Maass | September 26, 2017 | Comments Off on #FS17: Rethinking Financial Services (Really)

Imagine a world without bank accounts in the next ten years: a peer-to-peer world where currency is digital and financial managers have been replaced by tech giants. How will emerging tech change the financial sector? It’s time for a conference with an uncompromising view of the banking horizon: critical, meaningful, and engaging dialogue about what’s coming next. A place where the people designing the future can connect and learn. Join us on November 1 for #FS17: Rethinking Financial Services (Really), a conference co-produced by swissnex San Francisco and 650 Labs. We’re bringing together startups, old and new banks, corporates, VCs, academics and hackers to discuss what’s really happening in the industry.

Topics

  • Is there a Future in Retail Banking?
  • Demystifying ICO’s
  • AI, Bots, Data Analytics In Fintech
  • Retail Banking
  • Payments (or Blockchain)
  • Venture Outlook
  • Beyond FinTech – Impact on all Industries.

Our approach

  • Interactive: We don’t want attendees, only participants. We’ll debate, vote for topics and discuss  ideas at ‘speakers corners’
  • Community: We’ll focus on community before, during, and after
  • Critical: Filter through the noise, surface controversial assertions, cut against the grain, challenge groupthink. It’s time to rethink everything
  • Fun & Insightful: If you devote an entire day to a conference, it must be fresh, fun & insightful
