Back as a fully in-person event, our 2022 conference focused on the key role fintech would play in the recovery period with the momentous changes that has defined the past couple of years.

We delved into the challenges and opportunities the financial services sector faced, and what we must do to build on the momentum seen during the pandemic to continue to provide inherent value for people.

We were privileged to have Fireblocks, DIFC, DIGISEQ and OpenPayd as headline sponsors, and for the first year since our inception in 2017, Day 3 was held at new venue, at the new state of the art conference centre at Israel’s largest law firm Herzog, Fox & Neeman
