Seamless Europe 2023

Open Source in Finance Forum is the only conference dedicated to driving collaboration and innovation in financial services through open source software and standards. We bring together experts across financial services, technology, and open source to engage our community in stimulating and thought-provoking conversations about how to best (and safely) leverage open source software to solve industry challenges.

Future Digital Finance is more than a conference – it’s an experience. Discover how financial service organizations of all sizes are prioritizing digital strategies that enhance customer experience, while also creating opportunities for future innovation.

Join other innovators, startups, corporations, financial service providers, tech companies, investors, and regulators as they share industry-leading knowledge, best practices and experiences, spotlight trends and make forecasts about fintech in Africa at the Africa Fintech Summit, Lusaka, Zambia, taking place from November 16-17, 2023. Since 2018, twice a year, with the exception of 2020 and 2021 that saw only one edition of the Africa Fintech Summit each, we’ve brought together innovators from different financial and technology verticals to engage in thoughtfully designed community-oriented experiences. Each April, AFTS is a headlining sidelines event that holds during the Spring Meetings of The World Bank/IFC. And in November, another edition takes place in a selected African country.

Cloud is no longer a nice-to-have. Cloud is a must-have technology that is at the crux of operations across the financial services industry. Over the last few years, banks, fintech firms and technology providers have established a holistic strategy, migrated to cloud, and optimised their omnichannel services. The foundation is now in place. Gone are the days of resistance and hesitance to cloud: in order to succeed, every company handling core business-critical workloads across payments, clearing and settlement must utilise cloud today. Today, organisations must place impetus on strategising with their multiple cloud providers, system integrators and technology providers to offer the best experience to their customers; migrating infrastructures to platforms where financial firms can align on speed, agility, and innovation; and optimising cloud platforms to empower brands to create intelligent, revenue-generating products. The Financial Cloud Summit will help decision makers across the banking, payments and fintech sectors to bridge the cloud strategy, migration and optimisation gap, offering actionable solutions to speed up their journey.
