Details
We are delighted to return to face-to-face events with our first physical Manchester conference since 2019! The FinTech North Manchester conference is hosted in partnership with Refinitiv, an LSEG company and one of the world’s largest providers of financial markets data and infrastructure.
We are delighted to confirm that the Ravi Bhulla, Head of Department for Data, Technology and Innovation, FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) will deliver a keynote speech at the event. We will also feature keynotes from our Chair Dr. Chris Sier and our sponsors Refinitiv.
FinTech has long had the unique potential to impact societal and financial change. Over the past 18 months, FinTech innovation has helped us all survive and in some cases even thrive. In light of the Kalifa Review’s recommendation that increased National Connectivity is key to the UK’s FinTech strategy, we believe it’s an exciting time to be part of Northern FinTech. What better place to start than one of the North’s most exciting ecosystems – Manchester!
At the conference we will engage with the international and national FinTech landscape, explore UK and regional FinTech, take a deep dive into the Greater Manchester FinTech ecosystem and showcase some of the region’s innovative start-ups and scale-ups.
Throughout the pandemic, FinTech North has reached our entire Northern community with our virtual conferences and events, irrespective of geography. This year we are planning to live-stream and record the conference to maintain accessibility for those who are unable to join us on the day in Manchester.
Delegates can expect:
• Networking opportunities with the Northern FinTech Community
• To enhance their knowledge of UK FinTech
• To find out what FinTech innovation is taking place in Greater Manchester and beyond
• Breakfast, lunch and refreshments across the day
