ABOUT THE EVENT
Innovation and Technology has gained more attention within our industry not only from market participants but also from our regulators, and this has been amplified amidst COVID-19. We have all heard the terms digitization, robotics, AI, FinTech, RegTech, and machine learning, but how do we prepare ourselves to work with machines? Where do you place digitization and automation across the industry? What are the challenges? Do we think there is a gap in talent when looking at today’s workforce versus what we need to equip ourselves with for the future? All of these questions will be answered by key thought leaders from Banking and FinTech firms! 

Join us on Thursday 10th September as our panel of experts discuss the potential impacts of digital transformation and its effects on the future of the workforce!
