23rd November 2022

Volatile market conditions and changing consumer behaviour, especially in the last few months, have struck businesses around the world like a bolt from the blue forcing them to adopt strategies that were months or years away in their timeline. Pakistan was no exception to this global trend. In these unwarranted testing conditions, the onus fell on the leadership to make decisions that would determine the future of these affected organizations. Informed decisions can only be taken when a leader has more insights or business intelligence and to be able to get those specific insights, data needs to be brought into the picture to allow organizations to understand both the internal and external factors that could influence the path they take going forward. Just a few months back, the world was creating 2.5 quintillion bytes of digital data. According to IDC, by 2025, worldwide data is expected to grow 61% to 175 zettabytes from 33 zettabytes, with as much of the data residing in the cloud as in data centres.

Demystifying the next paradigm shift in global financial services.

This is a live online course running over seven sessions. The first two sessions cover FinTechs that enable and disrupt existing banking practices by using the possibilities of technology. You will identify new challenges that disrupt the status quo. Participants will see how Alibaba and Starbucks affected payments and how they became financial services companies. Participants will focus on the risks and opportunities, but mostly, participants will identify where the next gold mine lies for financial institutions.

From here, we will look at data analytics and what banks have done in the space of systems architecture, payment analytics, behavioral analytics, and neuroscience. All of the above requires digital payment solutions. This begs the question of how to create a digital currency. With blockchain and cryptocurrencies on the rise, the following sessions explain the underlying mechanisms. Firstly, we must understand the basics of cryptography. Then, we must understand the Digital Ledger Technology (DLT). To master the workings, we break down the Digital Ledger Technology into its hashes and blocks before chaining them together to the blockchain. Then we compare Bitcoin to other cryptocurrencies. During the course, you will be given free Bitcoin to set up a crypto wallet and make first payments to your peers. After checking out pitfalls and risks, we end the course with a game reinforcing all the learnings. We encourage critical thinking in participants and present the latest knowledge in this area.

3^rd Annual Digital Banking Summit – Innovation and Excellence Awards 2021

10^th – 11^th November 2021

Link: https://www.africadigitalbanking.com/

Africa is home to the second-largest banking market in the world in terms of growth and portability. Digital transformation of the BFSI sector is no longer an attractive option, it is now a need and imperative for banks to survive. Too many non-banking players have entered the market, making complete use of the technology on offer, for them to conduct business as usual. FinTechs have laid the foundation for the disruption of traditional banking methods and have created a catalyst for start-ups to open their virtual doors for business. This is further fuelled by new, favourable regulations by Governments – indicating that this wave of innovation will not subside and is only bound to take a quantum leap.

The COVID-19 pandemic has sped up the pace of digital transformation in Africa, possibly by a couple of years, as many people have been forced to try digital services for the first time.

For banks, 2020 was a year of adaptability; however, 2021 will see a renewed focus on automation and will give rise to the emergence of connected banking. Banking operations are going to become much more flexible, due to the immediate need to access data anytime, anywhere. The time is fertile to accelerate digital technology and leverage it to stay relevant, competitive, and future-ready.

Keynotes, Candid Conversations, Fire-Side Chats, and Focus Sessions, with which we aim to outline the challenges and opportunities within the industry. The content has been curated to educate, inspire, and empower leaders to advance their pioneering strategies and integration to effectively cultivate their operations to increase profitability in the post-pandemic era.
