Stage 1

MAIN STAGE

This year main theme will be Sustaining Economic Recovery: we will go through that within four topics, Finance, Insurance, Regulation and Relaunch. Read more here below!    

Finance:

In the past year, digital finance has significantly evolved. There is so much going on, between the emergence and fast progress of new players and the transformation of the more established ones due to the new priorities set by governments and digitalisation. 

Helping to develop start-ups and scale ups whilst supporting small and large companies is key to the competitive future of the European financial ecosystem. 

Our speakers will share their vision of the future of banking and finance. Open finance, blockchain, crypto and ESG are amongst the hottest topics of the day. 

Insurance:

Insurance is a crucial part of our lives. To create a string customer experience, today’s insurance product and services need to be real-time, contextual and embedded. They need to blend into our daily lives. Partnerships, leveraging the power of ecosystems and exploring platform business models are at the core of this. Flexible infrastructures and strong data-analytics capabilities are needed as enablers. This evolution brings ideas and opportunities beyond insurance. We will explore how start-ups, scale-ups and corporates are adapting their business model to protect our families and businesses.

Relaunch:

The post-covid economic recovery is already here and happening. It represents an opportunity to create economic prosperity for everyone.  We’ll hear from our speakers on how digital finance and alternative payment solutions will be key to this recovery.  You will also have the opportunity to take a deep dive with international experts on how the CBDC are seen as an essential tool for the relaunch, comparing the e-Euro and the e-Yuan. Come and discover what the exciting new opportunities are for our ecosystem.

Regulation:

With the introduction of its digital finance package, the European Commission wants to create the right conditions for a competitive EU financial sector, giving consumers access to innovative financial products, whilst ensuring their protection and financial stability.

Our experts will share with you the latest EU decisions and their impacts. Get an overview of the latest regulatory policies in development such as eIDAS, ESG and utilities, as well as the pipeline of legislative proposals such as DORA and MiCA.  On stage, the main actors in the field will share their own vision of these evolutions and the consequences for our ecosystem and the rest of our society.

Stage 3

INTERACTIVE SESSIONS

IMMERSIVE ROUND TABLES

Exchange ideas and thoughts at these highly interactive agora sessions! 

A NEW and exciting session format introduced this year on our Stage 3. 

Immersive round tables are the fruit of a clear request from our attendees to break with Covid -induced digital silenced audience and one way knowledge sharing.

These sessions will be animated by our sponsors, in a collaborative way, and will take place in an agora format, allowing participants to actively join the discussions with other experts from around Europe, increasing interactivity and valuable exchanges.

WORKSHOPS

Deep dive sessions, of 2 to 4 hours length, for 10-30 people, focusing on sharing knowledge through experience, practical cases and hands-on exercises.

EXHIBITION AND NETWORKING

During coffee breaks, lunch and the closing cocktail, in person participants will have ample opportunity to enjoy and explore the different booths and demos, to exchange with speakers, sponsors, partners and FTBE staff. A variety of networking possibilities will provide delegates with the opportunity to meet and also have a one to one chat when needed. 

Private physical and digital rooms of all sizes can be reserved for specific meetings or small satellite symposia. Details upon request. 

The exhibition hall is accessible exclusively to onsite attendees and a digital room dedicated to networking will be available to digital attendees.
