The LHoFT at Money 2020
2021-09-21 - 2021-09-23
The LHoFT is attending Money 2020 Europe.
With over 4,000 people, (with 1 in 4 Exec Team or Board level), from 1,500+ companies, get back to business IN REAL LIFE with the who’s who of Payments, Banking, Fintech and Financial Services.
PANEL
Our CEO, Nasir Zubairi, will moderate a panel on Wednesday 22, 11:40 – 12:20 alongside Nigel Verdon, CEO of Railsbank and Shachar Bialick, CEO of Curve dedicated to quite a disruptive topic: “Does your brand need to exist?”

With the arrival of open finance and de-monopolisation of financial data, which all result in more and more financial services companies becoming aggregators/connectors/platforms/one-stop-shops, does company-specific branding matters at all? Do today’s consumer fintech darlings’ brands matter at all in the eyes of the end user if they become just one of 10+ accounts the user aggregates into one card and one app?

DECEMBER 1–2 HELSINKI, FINLAND
The comeback you’ve been waiting for.
Slush 2021 is safely bringing together the world’s leading founders, investors, executives, and media for a curated gathering of 8,000 attendees at Helsinki Expo and Convention Center.
Our actions over the next decade will determine the course of humanity for generations to come. Entrepreneurs building scalable solutions will be at the core of creating the solutions that will make that future a bright one.
To fully harness the power of young companies in pursuit of progress, we need to reimagine what entrepreneurship is. For the past two decades, our ability to create meaningful change through technology has been on the decline. We invest more and receive less. Our continued progress as a species depends on us reversing this trend.
We call this the Entrepreneurial Renaissance.
EUROPE’S LARGEST GATHERING OF VC
Slush has grown into the largest single gathering of venture capital in the world – 1,500 investors ranging from VCs to angels, CVCs, and LPs, all looking for the next big thing. Check out who’s coming this year.

With ESG as a driving force for change, banks are uniquely placed to assist the shift of a fairer and greener future, accelerated by COVID-19.

This is the third edition of our half-day boutique conference in Luxembourg. Hugely successful in 2020, it’s a really powerful networking event. A select mix of national and international speakers hosting the perfect discussion platform for the local banking business… dinner included.
Because of its success, and by popular demand, we will have our first conference of 2022 at the same location.
That means we’ll meet again in Confiserie Namur, renowned for its high-end catering, close to Luxembourg’s financial centre. The Banking Scene only selects high-level speakers, Confiserie Namur matches up perfectly with their tasty and quality products.
