Welcome to the Future of Financial Services Week 2024 event hub.
At this annual flagship event we look at all the hottest topics impacting the future of the financial services industry, and this year was no different! We focused on the themes presenting the biggest opportunities and challenges in financial services for 2024 and beyond and covered prevalent subjects such as artificial intelligence, greenwashing, and financial promotions, and our in-person 'regulatory' and 'fundraising' days touched on non-financial misconduct, venture debt, and financial regulation (or lack of) for BNPL products.
Osborne Clarke specialists from across our international network were joined by industry experts from McGlinchey Stafford, Liberis, and many more.
