It’s almost here!
Since 2017, Fintech Sandbox has organized Boston Fintech Week, putting on stage thought leaders from the world of fintech and financial services. You won’t want to miss the upcoming 7th edition.
More than 100 speakers representing organizations from across the industry will be there to discuss the trends and technologies disrupting finance. At least 2,000 people are expected to take in nearly 50 panels, roundtables, masterclasses, and fireside chats (not to mention the parties) at this annual four-day gathering.
Attendees represent an array of startups, incumbent financial institutions (banks, asset managers & insurance carriers), data providers, venture capitalists, angel investors, regulators, and universities. It’s a great place to get to know the Boston ecosystem. For entrepreneurs, it’s an opportunity to mingle with potential investors, partners, and customers.
The theme this year is Fintech at Full Throttle: The Rapid Advance of Innovation. We’ll be diving into the rapidly accelerating changes in our industry, technology, and world. Join us as we showcase the newest ideas, the latest advances in technology, and the fintech entrepreneurs who are pushing the pace of change.
