The financial services industry has been quick to recognise the transformative impact that blockchain technology could have on global operations and client interactions, and, as a result, financial services companies are heavily involved in its development.

As the Financial Times put it: ‘banks could use blockchain technology for everything from recording and updating of customer identities to the clearing and settlement of lands and securities’. The technology promises more efficient, secure and easily scalable banking transactions than the existing banking model. It will fundamentally change the way that the industry approaches the movement of assets and execution of contracts. However, the potential of blockchain has not yet been fully realised.

The 2nd Annual Blockchain FS Technology Forum, which will take place in London on November 7th, will address blockchain technology from a user-led point of view and will analyse its potential for the financial services industry – particularly its infrastructure – in the UK and beyond.

Attending this summit will enable you to:

  • Advance your understanding of how blockchain standards and industry collaboration are being fostered and promoted

  • Analyse the key legal issues involved in the creation of a regulated data economy

  • Understand the impact of smart contracts on financial services

  • Review efficiencies and commercial strategies to build a trusted system when transitioning to blockchain

  • Hear about the latest developments in: cross-border payment systems, digitised trade finance; clearing and settlements; and blockchain within asset and wealth management

  • Learn how to overcome market and infrastructure challenges, including: technical, security, resilience and scalability issues

  • Focus on insurance: benefit from increased effectiveness in fraud detection and pricing, whilst reducing costs and improving efficiency

  • Improve customer engagement: Using blockchain as a tool to provide increased transparency and fairness of tariffs

  • Embrace the latest developments in applications, innovation and core technologies
