Money20/20 USA 2023 Fintech Compliance Edition - Day 1 Preview

The “Washington Explained Summit”.

Day 1 of Money20/20 is here! As the show is just hours away from kicking off, looking at my schedule one thing stands out - today’s essentially full length “Washington Explained Summit.” While it’s hard to get a handle on the various summits and themes beyond the tagging feature in the app, this particular day-long series of sessions was important enough to get a press release, which we’ll amplify below:

“Recent events have increased the amount of regulatory involvement and scrutiny of the fintech space. Money20/20 USA’s Washington Explained Summit on Sunday Oct 22nd, brings together the politicians and the policymakers where the audience will learn from some of the leading observers and prognosticators about what the twist and turns of financial regulation will mean and what to expect in 2024 and beyond.

Sessions include:

• Ramifications of the Legislation on Digital Assets: with Sheila Warren, Crypto Council for Innovation, Allison Behuniak, U.S. House Committee on Financial Services, and Andrew Gallucci, Circl

• Let's Talk about the CFPB: with Ashwin Vasan, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and Rachel Morrissey, Money20/20
