CBI Insights, a company that aggregates data using machine learning, algorithms, and data visualization, hosts an annual exclusive FinTech conference for financial institutions, FinTech firms, and venture capitalists. 2017 marks the second year the two-day conference has been held. Hosted FinTech companies must apply through the CBI Insights website, featuring their business solution to a problem, business model, and relevant FinTech sector. The 2017 conference will feature many speakers from companies such as Paytm, an Indian payment and commerce company; Sequoia Capital, an American venture capital firm; Lemonade, an American renters and home insurance company, among many, many more.
The Future of FinTech conference seems like a fantastic opportunity to see what other disruptive technologies and services are up and coming, but unfortunately, it lives up to its exclusive nature, as you must be either a paying CBI customer, corporate/VC investor, lawyer, banker, accountant, or consultant and pay $1,995 or more to attend the conference. I wonder if this conference is streamed or reported on, as it would be very interesting to see what other companies are doing, beyond the more consumer based payments and personal finance FinTech that most commonly reaches the average consumer.
