Magazine BEAST #16 2019

30 #Business | FinTech
The Paytech Magazine will host a payment breakfast and
moderate a few sessions of that track and, of course, we’ll
have many specialized actors in that field in the different
exhibition halls. Last but not least, we are pleased to welcome
Paypal as our exclusive partner for our astonishing annual
Gala Dinner. As you can see, payment will be a key thread for
the 2020 edition of the Forum.
This year, you also launched Paris Finance Week.
Can you tell us more about that?
More than 3,000 people, 50 per cent of them coming from
foreign countries, gather every year for two days at Paris
Fintech Forum. With this in mind, we wanted to encourage
the emergence of other events in Paris during the last week
of January in order to give attendees the opportunity to
discover more about the diversity of the European finance and
technology ecosystem. The success of the first Paris Finance
Week, with just under 20 events running, encouraged us to
grow in 2020. If you want to organize an event, contact us!
Among the confirmed sessions we’ll have fascinating meeting
organized by Haus of Fintech, CFTE, Fintech Australia,
Finance innovation, the LHoFT, Digital Finance Forum, the
UK embassy, Le Swave, etc. Those new initiatives, added to
our already announced parties and to be announced side
events run by our other partners, will lead to a full week
packed with conferences and networking in Paris… it’s time
to save the dates!
So, can you sum up why people should be in Paris in January?
There are three main reasons: to learn, to network and to
do business.
LEARN: With more than 130 panels, fireside chats and
pitches, gathering mainly CEOs and chairpersons from the
whole finance industry together, you will without doubt
learn more about the future of finance in the digital era than
you will anywhere else.
NETWORK: In the intimacy of the former French stock market
exchange in the center of Paris, everything will be done to
enable you to meet and interact with other attendees and
our astonishing speakers: through our lounges, dedicated
apps and the many lunches, dinners and parties that go on
around the Forum.
DO BUSINESS: Our partners and attendees come to do
business together. Over two days you will mainly meet
decision-makers from banks, insurance companies, regulators
and investors, as well, of course, as countless Fintechs from
all over the world. Three months of international business
meetings, packed into two days! And, of course, the
opportunity to spend a few days in the heart of Paris is in
itself a very good reason to join us!
The fifth edition of Paris Fintech Forum will take place on 28
& 29 January 2020 at the Palais Brongniart. You can find
information and book tickets to the event via the website,
