Where Money Meets Innovation: Money20/20 ASIA's Epic Gathering of 120+ Fintech Titans in Bangkok

Bangkok is buzzing with anticipation as Money20/20 ASIA gears up to set the stage alight at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center from April 23-25th, 2024. Imagine a place where the pulse of fintech throbs with the beat of over 120 speakers and industry experts, each ready to showcase their future of finance in the heart of Southeast Asia. Money20/20 ASIA is the epicenter of financial innovation, where the air is thick with innovation.

This year, Bangkok won't just be known for its vibrant street life and breathtaking temples; it's where the world's financial titans converge. With a lineup that reads like the who's who of the financial world, including heavyweights from JP Morgan to Google, and fintech unicorns like GCash rubbing shoulders with regulatory giants such as the Bank of Thailand, this show promises to be nothing short of spectacular. The Queen Sirikit National Convention Center will transform into a melting pot of ideas and innovations from across the globe, with speakers hailing from 15 APAC countries, all under one roof. This year’s themes are the prime example of where the future of finance lies: Integration, Virtualisation, and Eastward Expansion.

Money20/20 ASIA isn't just about the big names; it's where the future of finance finds its footing. Ian Fong, the event's Asia Content Director, puts it best, describing the event as "a central hub for the APAC fintech community." It's a platform where the brightest minds in Asian fintech connect, share, and inspire. From the bustling markets of Japan to the serene landscapes of New Zealand, speakers will bring forward the latest trends, insights, and opportunities that are shaping the financial ecosystem.

Among the keynote speakers, the stories of innovation and inclusivity are set to captivate the audience. Aamir Ibrahim, CEO of Jazz, and Charles Li, Founder of Micro Connect, represent the trailblazers in telecommunications and lending, respectively. Meanwhile, Chetna Sinha, the visionary behind Mann Deshi Mahila Bank, India's first bank for and by rural women, will share her journey of empowering women through financial inclusion. Her story is not just inspiring; it's a testament to the transformative power of finance, a reminder of what financial inclusion can really achieve.

Masakazu Osawa from MUFG, Japan's largest bank, will delve into the dynamics of Asia's financial landscape, highlighting the region's rapid growth and its burgeoning unicorn scene. His insights into MUFG's collaborative efforts with startups underscore the event's role as a crucible for innovation, where traditional banking meets the cutting-edge of fintech.

Money20/20 ASIA is where the future of money is being written, where the next big idea finds its investors, and where startups find their launchpad. It's a testament to the vibrancy and dynamism of Asia's financial scene, poised to become the world's largest financial ecosystem by 2030.

The power of Money 20/20 was evident even in the early days. In our Machinelab interview with Aditya Khurjekar, co-founder of Money 20/20, he noted, "I felt like the interesting innovations happen when two very uncorrelated conversations come together.” In Money20/20, he saw a place where innovators from varying fields could interact.

As Bangkok prepares to welcome the brightest minds in fintech, Money20/20 ASIA promises to be a celebration of financial innovation, an incubator for future success stories, and most importantly, a beacon for the power of financial inclusivity. Whether you're there to network, to learn, or to be inspired, this event is where the future of money begins. And with the city's spirit as a backdrop, Money20/20 ASIA is set to be an unforgettable fusion of culture, innovation, and vision. Don't just watch from the sidelines; be part of the story that's about to unfold.
