This summer has been packed with blockchain and cryptocurrency conferences. As the financial industries continuously evolve, the public’s understanding of this innovative technology must evolve as well. Blockchain may not benefit your personal business at the moment, but there are so many ways the technology is being implemented across society. There is no reason to fall behind and risk your financial future. Attend one of these conferences and get up-to-date on where the future of finance is going and what you will have to do to be successful with this evolving technology.

After many successful conferences around the world, the second annual New York Fintech Week is back in New York City from July 31-August 2. Fintech Week originally started in London in 2014. Since the beginning of the original Fintech Week, the conference has traveled all over the world, stopping in Hong Kong, San Francisco, Dublin, Chicago, Washington D.C., Amsterdam, and Tel Aviv, in addition to New York City and London.

Fintech Week has always set a standard for how to host a fintech conference. Fintech Week brings together investors, large banks, consultancies, start-ups, academics, government officials, and innovators to provide the perfect fintech ecosystem.

Fintech Week New York will kick off on July 31 with the FinPitch. This half-day conference is devoted to learning about the industry’s rising entrepreneurs and startups.  Each pitch will last five minutes and will have a three-minute question and answer session after each pitch for any curious venture capitalists.

Attendees have the option to purchase the full conference pass, though if a three-day event is too much for your liking, there are single-day passes as well. Day passes will only work on the particular day for which the pass is purchased. As New York continues to make itself the east coast epicenter for fintech in the US, it continues to be the perfect place for investors, innovators, and entrepreneurs to gather, share ideas, and build the future of finance. Do not worry if you can not make it to New York’s Fintech Week as Fintech Week will be in the Silicon Valley August 13-15.

If you are looking for something a little smaller and a bit more personal, DISCON in Boulder, Colorado may be the perfect conference for you. DISCON will be providing an ecosystem for new ideas and innovations in the digital currency and distributed web space.

While many blockchain conferences are tailored towards a specific group (investors, entrepreneurs, or hedge funds), DISCON is being designed to encourage anyone interested in blockchain, digital currency, and a more decentralized web to attend this conference. Importantly, DISCON is not a platform for marketing or pitching ICO’s. This conference will not allow the attendees to be treated as the product of this event.

With Boulder, Colorado hosting the conference, there will be a unique networking environment along with the quality presentations. A more personal approach that encourages collaboration and diversity will set DISCON apart from the larger conferences.

While this is a smaller conference, the keynote speakers are as influential as any of the speakers at larger conferences. Hear from a Colorado-based technology entrepreneur and mathematician, Charles Hoskinson, who is also the CEO at Input Output HK. Hoskinson’s professional career is full of work in the financial industry, and his most recent work has been in cryptocurrency. Hoskinson founded three cryptocurrency related start-ups: Invictus Innovations, Ethereum, and IOHK. Don’t let him impress you with just that because he was also the founding chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation’s education committee and established the Cryptocurrency Research Group in September of 2013. Hoskinson knows the blockchain and financial industries from top-to-bottom and is a presenter you will not want to miss.

The second keynote speaker is Chelsea Rustrum, co-founder of Blox7.com and founder of Blockchain for Good. As the starter of the project, Blockchain Code of Ethics, Rustrum is dedicated to building a new, ethical, economic community that reaches around the world.

The third and final keynote speaker at DISCON will be Jared Polis, U.S. representative, Second District of Colorado. Polis is a Princeton University graduate, member of various government committees, and an entrepreneur. His first company was American Information Systems, followed by bluemountain.com and ProFlowers.com. Polis will be sharing his insights on how the industry will be evolving along with society and public policies.

While many events are simply daytime presentations, DISCON After Dark will be bringing the Boulder creativity and uniqueness to the blockchain conference summer tour.  Attendees will have the opportunity to explore beautiful downtown Boulder and see the rich relationship between art and technology. DISCON invites anyone interested in blockchain to join the event and learn more about this innovative technology.

Panelists will discuss the main issues around regulations regarding crypto assets, including recent guidelines from the SEC, how crypto assets will likely be classified and taxed in the USA, and how leading professional service firms are structuring large digital asset transactions. The conference will use examples such as IBM, MasterCard, and AIG to show how industry giants are already leading the way by implementing blockchain solutions to run more efficiently.

While the conference is rather small, with around 200 attendees in total, this will still be a valuable opportunity to hear from world-class speakers and learn from insights of the brightest minds in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space.

M2Banking & Fintech Latam will also be different from the typical large conference. This smaller venue is dedicated to stimulating a private forum with an exclusive atmosphere where the leading fintech entrepreneurs and experts can provide experience and insights into the future of finance. This conference has an added twist: a focus on Latin American mobile commerce and the fintech space. While there will be panel discussions and presentations, there will also be a tour of Silicon Valley to see some of the current leaders in innovative payment systems and the world. The tour includes stops at PayPal’s Innovation Center, Google’s Googleplex, Apple’s Apple Park, and the Plug & Play Tech Center.

This conference will help attendees see the emerging trends in the mobile financial services industry and help them apply those trends to their particular LATAM market. Specifically, attendees will learn about monetization opportunities in financial services for Latin Americans in the United States. Take this chance to exchange out-of-the-box ideas and connect privately with fintech experts and entrepreneurs in an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Understand how to successfully navigate among the region’s segmented financial markets, as each of them requires a different approach and knowledge base. Stimulate partnerships and alliances that will help you to expand business in Latin America.

The Imagine Conference is an annual event brought to you by the Adam Smith Center in Singapore. This conference dives deep into the ideas that will shape the future.

While blockchain conferences are highly prevalent in many countries, Africa has only hosted a few. The East African island nation of Mauritius is looking to set the standard in Africa and brand itself as a regional haven for blockchain innovation. Mauritius already has well-established financial service infrastructure as well as information and communications technology industries. It is time Mauritius brought its investors and entrepreneurs from these industries together to join the crypto-community.

Do not miss your chance to see what is going on in the blockchain industry in Africa. The Blockchain Conference in Mauritius on August 13, 2018, brings together investors, financial institutions, enterprise technology leaders, blockchain startups, and the ever so important academic and policy groups who are building the foundations of the blockchain and digital currency economy, allowing world adoption. Come to Mauritius and hear from experts in blockchain, powerful startups, and the political figures that will help explain how countries can adapt to this new technology.

Mr. Paramasivum Pillay Vyapoory, vice-president of the Republic of Mauritius will be a speaker at the conference to help explain how Mauritius will play a role in bringing blockchain to African markets and the country of Mauritius. With experts in the industry and government leaders speaking at the same conference, it is likely attendees will have a good sense of what direction African markets are going with crypto in the near future.

Mauritius will likely become one of the blockchain epicenters of Africa over the next year or two. Mauritius has the best business climate of any country in the region and ranks 49th out of 190 countries worldwide, according to the World Bank’s annual “Doing Business” survey. There are many new markets in Africa, and Mauritius plans to attract blockchain innovators to the African markets.  You will not want to miss this conference as these African markets remain up for the taking.
