On stage will be leaders in technology, finance, venture capital, government, regulators and academics exploring the frontiers of how our financial markets will be disrupted in the near-term. In the audience will be financial professionals (buy-side and sell-side) and investors (both institutional and family office/HNW), together with those men and women who are actually building this exciting new ecosystem.
"We believe strongly in the need to create this new forum for a robust and intellectually rigorous discussion of how these technological changes will impact investment portfolios and financial decision-making in the near-term," added Spangler.
