True Global Ventures has held 23 highly praised Disruption in Financial Services events in New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Mumbai, Tokyo, Stockholm, London, Paris and Berlin. We are stringing together FinTech trends and what Financial Institutions in the future might look like. We showcase growth stage FinTech startups, identify future Blockchain and Initial Coin Offering (ICO) trends and help bring the industry together.
We do not allow this to become a PR & Marketing event, media and journalists are not allowed and Chatham rules apply. We are aggressively challenging the ongoing hype around ICOs. We dig into real user cases of Blockchain applications to solve real problems and define what should go into production or ICOs.
Look forward to an engaging discussion with top industry leaders (corporates, investors, entrepreneurs) in FinTech!
