Peter Renton, Co-Founder and Chairman of Fintech Nexus, and Web3 expert Maurício Magaldi, Global Strategy Director for Crypto at 11:FS, will co-chair this new event. Together, they will design a schedule that covers the hottest topics around the impact of Web3 on financial institutions and fintechs.
“We are very excited to be working with 11:FS to organize this industry-first event,” stated Bo Brustkern, co-founder and CEO of Fintech Nexus. “11:FS brings a wealth of experience and an extensive network in the UK and Europe, and we love working with such a fun and knowledgeable team.”
