Share the experience, evidence and ideas that can help financial institutions move forward with digital finance. We welcome contributors with direct experience of building, implementing, investing in or overseeing financial products and infrastructure.

8–9 September 2027 | Messukeskus, Helsinki

What can you bring to the conversation?

Your proposed contribution should help the audience understand a market development, assess a commercial opportunity, address an implementation challenge or learn from practical experience. We welcome perspectives from financial institutions, payment providers, investors, policymakers, market infrastructure, technology businesses and professional services. Applications should relate to one or more of our five pillars:

  • Tokenisation
  • Real World Assets
  • Security
  • 24/7 Access
  • A Compliance First Approach

What makes a strong proposal?

A clear question, relevant experience and a useful takeaway for the audience. Tell us what you have learned, what evidence or examples you can share and how your contribution will help participants make better decisions. We welcome constructive debate and lessons from approaches that have faced challenges, as well as those that have succeeded.
