FinTech talks you can’t afford to miss at DTS
The future is here.
By future we mean FinTech.
A trend that will no doubt help Ireland enter a new era of exciting and lucrative technology, FinTech is gradually expanding into almost every area of business that involves money. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of clarity amongst the global community on the concept, the opportunity and the dangers involved in Financial Technology. To avoid getting lost in FinTech’s continuous state of flux, this year’s Dublin Tech Summit will see leaders of the FinTech world come together and discuss all the possibilities of its future. Here are just some of the talks you can’t afford to miss:
16th February 2017

11.20 – The Future of Global Money Transfer
The transferral and utilisation of money around the world has seen significant changes and disruption in recent years. With these new disruptors comes significant time and cost savings for users. However, some barriers to absolute freedom of movement still stand in place.

Speaker: Ben Brabyn
12:30 – Venture Incubators, Corporate Accelerators & Other Catalysts for FinTech Innovation

13:00 – Beyond The Headlines: The Relationship between Banks and Startups is Evolving
Building a level of trust with a major banking institution can be challenging and taxing for FinTech companies who are trying to get started in the industry, especially when the markets become volatile or unstable, but it’s achievable with the right skills and approach.
Speaker: Celine Lazorthes
13:20 – The Power of Personalisation in the Financial Services Industry
Financial services have traditionally been viewed as cold, corporate, and generally daunting. With the surge in disruptors pulling power back from the large banking corporations it also allows them to do it their way. Personalisation has had a big part to play in this, and its importance should not be neglected.
Speakers: Celine Lazorthes, Aparna Mukherjee, Mark Roden, Lorenz Jüngling, Rohit Arora
14:20 – The Future of Investing in and Building FinTech Companies

14:50 – Blockchain is a Utility for the World
The potential for decentralized technologies is nearly limitless as demonstrated by Blockchain. But in order to utilise the full potential of Blockchain, it, and other similar technologies must first be understood by consumers to make it more appealing and trustworthy.
Speaker: Bruce Pon
15:40 – In a New Era of FinTech, how do we prevent a New Era of Fraud?
The need for online banking to be efficient and fast while the user-base constantly increases could be compromising its security, but a number of companies are working hard to ensure your money is always protected.
