About the Summit

For the 13th consecutive year, Rosenblatt’s FinTech Summit brings together a carefully selected group of FinTech CEOs to describe how they are helping transform the financial services industry. For over a decade, our event has provided an excellent opportunity to understand how cutting-edge technology is transforming our lives, and to hear from leading entrepreneurs and investors how they are creating the future.

This year’s Summit “Building Tomorrow’s Marketplaces” is about the transformation we are seeing in the financial services industry, with new assets getting digitized and traded on emerging marketplaces that are being set up to deal in Private securities, Real Estate, Cryptocurrencies, Art, Customer Rewards and NFTs.

Join us as we delve into this critical transformation, guided by thought leaders from 16 cutting-edge FinTechs who will describe how they are creating tomorrow’s marketplaces. We are delighted that our Summit will be kicked-off with a fireside chat with Nasdaq’s CEO Adena Friedman, followed by three-panel discussions featuring 15 FinTech CEOs, moderated by Rosenblatt’s FinTech banking team members Vikas Shah and Dushyant Shahrawat.

Fireside Chat
With Adena Friedman

Adena will share her vision for how firms like Nasdaq can take their experience and expertise in financial markets, to create new markets in new types of assets like cryptocurrencies, and transform traditional industries like insurance and real estate. She will describe how the future involves converting old and new assets to some form of digitized securities, and then trade these assets on platforms provided by firms like Nasdaq and others. In time, this will create a new class of investable and tradable assets beyond financial securities, and transform investing and wealth management.
