DEBATE & LIVE PODCAST: Will Web 3.0 live up to the hype?
Trends Stage
You’re in for a treat with our second annual live debate. There will be four rounds, where the panel will discuss the following: valuations, consolidation, hype, and culture. Each team will have one lead debater open with a 90-second pitch per topic, after which the floor is open for everyone to join in and add their expertise, or just generally smack talk the other side.

PANEL: A Fraudster, Identity Thief, and FinTech Walk Into a Bar…

PANEL: FinTech Insights from Around the Globe
Innovation Stage
