And as for the themes, they all are packed with something to take away.

Back end is out, front end is in

This theme is all about how the customer is driving innovation to the front end of fintech. Speakers will explore what a best-in-class customer journey looks like, and what the ‘customer-first’ approach means for new products and services.

• Andrew Ellis, CEO Mettle, Head of Digital Assets, NatWest Group
• Valentin Stalf, Co-founder and CEO, N26
• Louise Hill, Co-Founder, GoHenry

Champions are out, interoperability is in

It’s official, the barriers to entry are down thanks to a mainly standardized technological layer across Europe. As such, this theme will seek to understand how the payments engine is set to become the most critical piece of infrastructure of all.

• Charlotte Hogg, CEO Europe, Visa
• Lucy Demery, Managing Director, Barclays
• Matt Henderson, EMEA Business Lead, Stripe

Acquisition is out, distribution is in

This theme will tackle the topic of large end-user platforms and who will win the race for the customer. Forget the marketing budget, it’s all about user experience and how it can integrate with the distribution channels of the future.

• Anne Boden, Founder & CEO, Starling Bank
• Babs Ogundeyi, CEO, Kuda
• Daniel Marovitz, Vice President Global Payments, Booking.com

Proprietary is out, standardisation is in

This theme will take a closer look at how the unification of financial infrastructure will start in the heart of Europe and spread – using open source and a back-to-basics approach, it’s time to get ready for the rise of the orchestration layer.

• Jessica Rusu, Chief Data Information & Intelligence Officer, FCA
• Liudas Kanapienis, Co-Founder & CEO, Ondato
• Gabriele Columbro, Executive Director, FINOS

Ownership is out, permission is in

This theme is all about how ownership is changing hands from entities to individuals. It will also tackle that murky grey area between CeFi and DeFi and what is virtual and real – where the best of both worlds can merge.

• Erica Stanford, Founder, Crypto Curry Club
• Catherine Zhou, Global Head of Ventures, Digital Innovation & Partnerships, HSBC
• Mariana de la Villa, Center of Expertise Lead Distributed Ledger Technologies, ING
