In five years, Web Summit has grown from 400 attendees to over 42,000 from more than 134 countries. It’s been called “the best technology conference on the planet”. But we just think it’s different. And that difference works for our attendees, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to the world’s most exciting startups.
A revolution is taking place in London, the financial capital of Europe. The banking industry is being shaken up by a new breed: the FinTech entrepreneur. No longer happy to settle for the slow, cumbersome and often expensive banking services offered, startups are popping up across the City, taking it upon themselves to solve the problem. Challenging traditional banking services, these companies are focusing on a particular field, such as money transfer or investment, and are using new technologies years ahead of their legacy counterparts.
But can this revolution be maintained? Does tech support this decoupling of services, or will the banks catch up? Is there a revenue model that can keep these startups alive? Moreover, can they continue to challenge an industry that is more than 300 years old?
Join GGM in partnership with Mondo, as we bring together expert women from FinTech to discuss how the banking industry is being turned on its head by startups, and what the future might look like for consumers.

And that difference works for our attendees, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to the world’s most exciting startups.
A revolution is taking place in London, the financial capital of Europe. The banking industry is being shaken up by a new breed: the FinTech entrepreneur. No longer happy to settle for the slow, cumbersome and often expensive banking services offered, startups are popping up across the City, taking it upon themselves to solve the problem. Challenging traditional banking services, these companies are focusing on a particular field, such as money transfer or investment, and are using new technologies years ahead of their legacy counterparts.
But can this revolution be maintained? Does tech support this decoupling of services, or will the banks catch up? Is there a revenue model that can keep these startups alive? Moreover, can they continue to challenge an industry that is more than 300 years old?
Join GGM in partnership with Mondo, as we bring together expert women from FinTech to discuss how the banking industry is being turned on its head by startups, and what the future might look like for consumers.
