Date and time

Location
Google Launchpad
4th Floor, 301 Howard St San Francisco, CA 94105Description
True Global Ventures has held 18 highly praised Disruption in Financial Services events in New York (3 times), San Francisco, Singapore (3 times), Beijing, Hong Kong (twice), Shanghai, Mumbai, Stockholm (3 times), London (twice) and Paris. 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 Token Generating Event (TGE) 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 POC Artificial Intelligence Machine as well as the ongoing hype around TGEs. We dig into real user cases of AI and Blockchain applications to solve real problems and define what should go into production or TGEs.
Look forward to an engaging discussion with top industry leaders (corporates, investors, entrepreneurs) in Fintech!
The event will be held at the Google Launchpad, 4th Floor, 301 Howard St, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA on Wednesday, September 13th , 2017.
Once registered, we have a no show fee of 100 USD.
