Evolution or revolution? Both. Money is rapidly becoming much more than the currency we are familiar with. Today, innovators are digitizing ownership so any asset can be represented digitally and accessed by anyone worldwide.
Join us as we learn about the next generation of investing. Industry experts Jacqueline Shea, Trish Uhl, Joseph “LeDrop WithCheese” Dunne, and Mark Anderson will reveal the digital influence of how consumers will access, invest, buy, save and pay – and why new forms of currency are more equitable for people around the world, creating greater inclusive access to wealth. It’s a revolution never before imaginable. Imagine a 20-something being able to invest in a classy golf course. Or your child getting fractional access to a car. The possibilities are endless.
We’ll discuss:
- Demystified: blockchain, crypto, bitcoin, staking, #DeFi
- The new financial system
- Why do financial inclusivity, transparency, and third-world countries matter?
- How the next generation of money will impact financial services, talent recruitment and jobs, and the global financial system
- Q&A – bring all your questions. This Tech Talk will be heavy on audience participation.
