The speaker lineup is a who's who of the finance world, featuring Alexandre Stervinou (Banque de France), Miguel Fernández Ordóñez (ex-governor, Bank of Spain), and representatives from influential financial and regulatory institutions.

The event targets a wide audience, from bankers to startups, offering a golden opportunity to absorb wisdom from industry titans and policy shapers in digital currency innovation.
