TGV Disruption in Financial Services – San Francisco (22-23 July 2019)
True Global Ventures has held 36 highly praised Disruption in Financial Services events in San Francisco, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Mumbai, Tokyo, Zurich, Stockholm, London, Paris and Berlin. We are stringing together Blockchain trends and what Financial Institutions in the future might look like while bringing the industry together.
We do not allow any of our events to become PR & Marketing event, as media and journalists are not allowed, and Chatham rules apply. We are aggressively challenging the ongoing hype around Blockchain. We dig into real user cases of Blockchain applications to solve real problems and define what should go into production or Blockchain technology.
These Rules Apply:
- Chatham House Rules
- No media, no press, no journalists
- We do not invite intermediaries as well.
Our goal is to foster an engaging discussion with top industry leaders (corporates, investors, entrepreneurs) in FinTech & Blockchain:
- Number of attendees: 120+
- 1/3: Corporates; 1/3: Investors (including Family Offices); 1/3: Start-ups (Founders)
