We hosted our latest event yesterday, delivering our second fully virtual event, FinTech LIVE New York. The virtual event dove into all things banking, finance, insurance, and so much more.

Through our long-standing partnership with the event streaming application, Brella, we were able to provide the virtual audience with an immersive and collaborative event experience. Attendees were able to match make and network with other attendees beforehand, send live questions to speakers, join “breakout” coffee meetings during the event, and much more.

We were joined by many high-class speakers who shared some exclusive insights into insurance, crypto, and fintech.
We were joined by Mastercard’s Chad Wallace, Marsh’s Rupert Poland, AXA’s Frank Desvignes and many more insightful keynote speakers. 

All of the virtual sessions were highly insightful to both us and the audience, we outline just some of our favourite sessions below - from The AI in Finserv Forum to  Romain Berthome’s keynote session on “Driving Product growth with Embedded Finance”
