The agenda, which includes over 60 hours of incredible content, presents speakers from the entire financial ecosystem including the largest banks in the world, VCs, payment providers, lending & credit companies, startups and disruptors and the largest tech companies on the planet.
Some key themes of the sessions and content include current trust challenges in finance and the need for regulatory clarity.

Anand Selvaesari, Chief Operating Officer of Citi and Zach Perret, CEO of Plaid, will be joining forces to show how different companies can work together to accelerate growth innovation in digital finance.
When it comes to regulation, we are covering this topic from just about every angle. Hester Peirce, Commissioner of SEC, will be interviewed on the topic of cryptocurrency regulation and market structure. Michael J.Hsu, Acting Comptroller of the Currency at OCC, will be interviewed on the topics of banking, fintech, financial inclusion, and new technologies.
Our keynote speakers Jelena McWilliams, Former FDIC Chairman and Managing Partner, Cravath, Swaine & More LLP and Randal Quarles, Former Vice Chairman, the Federal Reserve System and Chairman of the Cynosure Group, will share their experiences as ex-regulators and more behind their roles as current operators.
