8th Annual DC Fintech Week

Washington DC, 21-24 October 2024

Once again, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is teaming up with Georgetown University as the regulatory co-host for DC Fintech Week. Since 2017, DC Fintech Week has provided a free, world-class program accessible to anyone curious about financial innovation and regulation. It convenes a wide and diverse audience – from non-profits and technologists to entrepreneurs and regulators – to engage in a meaningful dialogue about fintech and the future of finance. Discussions span the fintech ecosystem: from applications of artificial intelligence (AI), tokenisation, cryptocurrencies and decentralised finance, cybersecurity, open banking and more.

This year, the conference will be bigger than ever, with CEOs, heads of regulatory agencies and leading thinkers from the United States and around the world. Following a call papers, it will also feature cutting-edge research from an array of academic disciplines.

As in the past, we expect coverage by major outlets including the New York Times and Washington Post. Media including CNBC, Bloomberg and C-SPAN routinely broadcast the sessions. 

Attendance is free for all participants, but spaces are limited. To register, go to the official DC Fintech Week website.
