World renowned speakers confirmed for Virtual FinTech Fair

HONG KONG,July 29,2020 --The Virtual FinTech Fair,co-hosted by FinStep Asia and Novsphere Media,has confirmed that over 70 world renowned speakers will debate and discuss the future of the financial industry on 4-5th August 2020. The event will also be Asia'spremier fully virtual conference,with interactive booths,networking,and panel sessions.

As COVID-19 continues to severely impact the world economy,and many countries are experiencing second or third waves,it is now more important than ever for financial executives to understand how they can digitise their organisations.Not only is this important to help serve the immediate financial needs of the general population,but also to ready themselves for the new digital economy that will emerge once the pandemic subsides. With travel restrictions across the world,cross border business has decreased significantly and many firms are not able to engage with each other to facilitate digital transformation. The Virtual FinTech Fair provides the perfect platform to facilitate all of this virtually,which is essential at a time where no one is able to travel or easily meet face-to-face.

The Virtual FinTech Fair has created a bespoke conference agenda featuring leading experts from across the financial ecosystem. These speakers include regional regulators,subject matter experts,innovative startups and corporate leaders. Headline speakers include:

Lariena Wang,Head of Smart Banking,HSBC

King Leung,Head of FinTech,Invest Hong Kong

John Ho,Head of Legal,Standard Chartered

Greg Krasnov,Founder & CEO,Tonik Bank

Paolo Sironi,Global Research Leader Banking and Finance,IBM Institute for Business Value

Melissa Frakman,Founder and Managing Partner,EMVC

Praveena Rai,COO,National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI)

Salman Jaffrey,CBDO,DIFC

Over 70 world renowned speakers confirmed for Virtual FinTech Fair

In addition,the fair will host up to 50 innovative startups from across Asia showcasing their solutions at the virtual exhibition.

Musheer Ahmed,Managing Director of FinStep Asia,said:

"The world as we know it will be completely different once the crisis settles,and COVID-19 has accelerated the transition to a digital economy. Those who do not take significant steps now will be left behind,so it is essential that financial executives have the knowledge,understanding and opportunity to connect with the people who have experience in leveraging the power of digital technologies. The panel of speakers and sessions we have created will help them to achieve this."
