Why attend?
Technology and finance are at a critical point of collaboration, as the financial services industry looks to combine traditional methods with new technological solutions. The industry continues along an increased drive for efficiency across departments, where technology prospects have never been more real and accessible. As the industry continues to develop and innovate its practices, it has never been more crucial to understand technology and innovation offerings and potential in order to stay ahead of rapidly advancing competition.

X-Tech Europe looks to provide both insight into solutions and technology usage across the industry, but how institutions are moving away from simple theory of the possibilities and making innovation a reality. The competition landscape has never been more fierce and institutions are forced to keep up or be left behind – join us to network with financial institutions, regulators, FinTechs, investors and industry innovators to find new ways for your institution to keep up!

Key opportunities to be addressed includes:
• Cloud
