AltFi Amsterdam Summit 2018

Description

ltFi is returning to Amsterdam for its second annual Summit in the City. The inaugural event last year was a roaring success, with key figures from across Continental Europe’s alternative finance and digital banking sectors highlighted. These included Jeroen Broekema, managing director of Funding Circle Netherlands, and Mieke van Engelen, head of innovative partnerships at ABN AMRO’s standalone lending platform, New10.

The second summit will introduce an equally diverse array of fintech leaders to discuss the sector’s most pressing developments, with a particular focus on PSD2 use-cases and, of course, life after the UK’s departure from the EU.

You can register your interest in speaking at or sponsoring the event by contacting us at events@altfi.com.
