DC Fintech Week Day 1 - “Ever since kicking off on the campus of Georgetown University Law Center in 2017, DC Fintech Week has had a simple objective: democratize information and allow everyone–from nonprofits and technologists to entrepreneurs and regulators–to engage one another, for free, in a meaningful dialogue about fintech and the future of finance. On each day, on every panel, the conference brings the best and the brightest to Washington DC for discussions spanning the fintech ecosystem: crowdfunding, online lending, cryptocurrencies, cybersecurity, Generative AI, open banking and more. As such, it is one of the few panels open to the public where top officers from across government are able to dialogue collectively with experts across domains, national boundaries, and subject matter.” This is an-person event in Washington DC with the primary focus being regulatory compliance, but is currently waitlisted (hopefully some of you grabbed tickets as this was on our long-term conference tracker!).

Our panel discussion will provide us with a platform to look more deeply into the multifaceted aspects of this reality and of the future of Open Banking.” This is an in person event in London.
