Senior policymakers and industry will come together to discuss key aspects of FinTech regulation at the
6th Annual Fintech and Regulation Conference
The Digital Transformation of Finance: Defining Europe’s Policy Response
8 and 9 February 2022
We would like to once more remind you and invite you to join us for our Sixth Annual Conference on FinTech and Digital Innovation that will take place virtually on 8 and 9 February 2022.
Our two-day virtual conference will explore some of the pressing policy and regulatory challenges faced by the digitalisation of financial services and FinTech, as well as the benefits of innovation and technological change in Europe and globally.
On Day 1 the planned panel discussions will look at the following issues: the growing role of platforms and online market places in the distribution and provision of financial services, global regulatory approaches to crypto-assets, the role of open finance and use of customer data, electronic identification and the future of digital payments, as well as the rise of CBDC.
Day 2 will focus on the role of technology in securities markets, the impact of technology on insurance and asset management, the role of technology in delivering better regulatory and supervisory compliance, managing cyber security and cyber resilience, as well as AI systems and cloud computing.
The success of our annual conference was reflected in our event last year, attracting nearly 1000 attendees from the regulatory and supervisory community, the EU institutions, industry, start-ups and academia. We were in particular pleased to have had with us more than 400 regulators and supervisors not only from the EU Member States but also from the U.S., other parts of Europe and Asia.
Also already a big thank you to all our partners.
