About this event

BlockSpaces presents: The FinTech Revolution - Talents, Rebels and Disruptive Technology

FinTech is the intersection of finance and technology and it is rapidly transforming the financial services sector. In 2019 alone, we’ve seen the largest companies in the world announce initiatives to improve payment methods and financial instruments.

Join us for an evening of insight and inspiration and learn how the face of the financial world is in the midst of a radical shift. Florida is gearing up to transform the state’s reputation from only being a vacation destination or for real estate investors, to a great place to build the next product that transforms the financial landscape.

Session Description: Blockchain Task Force & FinTech Legislation Update

On May 23, 2019, Florida joined several other trail blazing states as Gov. Ron DeSantis signed SB 1024 (Florida Blockchain Bill) into law to establish the Florida Blockchain Task Force (Blockchain Task Force) within the Florida Department of Financial Services. The goal of the task force is to provide feedback to the governor about how to create and support a Florida blockchain workforce through academic and project based initiatives. Join us for an update on the task force as well as the new FinTech initiatives declared by the Governor and the CFO to be implemented soon in the state of Florida.

Speakers: Samuel Armes and Jason Holloway

Session Description: Matteo Rizzi: TALENTS & REBELS: Dealing with Corporate Misfits

Innovators are to company growth what misfits are to company survival. Through the life and professional story of the author, helped by a number of conversations with renowned innovators and leaders across industries, the book finds predictable patterns to figure out ways to not only spot these lateral thinkers in your organization, but also to deal with them and use their peculiar talent to help your business thrive. The tension between incremental innovation and disruptive innovation, between the business as usual and what is coming next, is not something any company should be afraid of, and rebels are there to transform this tension in an opportunity, if you know how to deal with it.

Keynote Speaker: Matteo Rizzi
