BAFT Global Annual Meeting 2023 | BAFT (Bankers Association for Finance and Trade) | 30 April 2023 | Hyatt Regency San Francisco, 5 Embarcadero Ctr, San Francisco, CA 94111, USA

Industry disruption is not new. Geopolitical forces, rising interest rates, supply chain disruption, changes in the workforce and talent pool, acceleration of innovation, and the rise of blockchain, CBDCs, cryptocurrencies, and the metaverse, just to name a few, have affected our business models, how we transact and run our day to day operations.

With an exemplary suite of industry speakers, this year’s 2023 BAFT Global Annual Meeting will tackle these disruptive forces, while providing a venue for colleagues and partners in the industry to further converse on these topics and forge partnerships as we retool our businesses for success while we continue to dance with disruption!
