Delivering Practical Experience

Deloitte, Barclays, Credit Suisse, Prudential, State Street and Fidelity discuss DLT’s role within financial services at BFC EU 2017

FinTech Network first started exploring the way the finance sector was responding to the rise of DLT in 2015 and since then we’ve seen a plethora of fascinating projects moving from proof of concept towards commercialisation.

As an industry we’ve come a long way since 2015 and the advantages and limitations of DLT are now well understood… but there’s still a lot to do. At BFC EU 2018, we’re aiming to showcase the latest developments and use cases of distributed ledger technologies to help shape the future of financial services.

Through an immersive mix of end user case studies, technical panel discussions, networking breaks and an interactive technology showcase hall, BFC EU 2018 will offer attendees the chance to hear about the latest blockchain innovations and developments. Highlights include:

• Value Proposition: Assess the blockchain business case with Microsoft, RBS and Deutsche Bank to see how you can make the jump from POC to commercialisation

• Tokenisation: Debate the role that ICO’s, digital tokens and crypto assets will play in the future of financial services with Barclays, BaFin and the Bank for International Settlements

• Application Areas: Hear how financial institutions including Northern Trust, ING, Caisse des Depôts, KBC and Credit Agricole CIB are working to apply DLT

• Tech Innovations: Discuss latest improvements around smart contracts, infrastructure and what Quantum Computing could mean for blockchain technology

• Standards: Hear how ISDA are working to create Standards within the derivatives market to help ensure interoperability across the industry

My aim is to help you to understand this fast-moving technology and navigate this period of disruption whilst giving you the tools and practical information to help your business succeed in this new era of financial services.

I hope you can join us in Dublin this October when we take over the Aviva Stadium to be part of these critical industry discussions.
