Aviva
We’re delighted to announce our first ever York FinTech Forum, hosted in partnership with one of the UK’s leading insurance, wealth and retirement businesses, Aviva, on 16th July from 10am-2pm at their York HQ.
The York FinTech Forum will spotlight themes of WealthTech, Advisor Tech, and regional FinTech innovation through a dynamic half-day agenda.
The agenda features a welcome from a senior leader at Aviva, an interactive discussion on WealthTech opportunities and challenges, followed by a WealthTech themed panel with leaders from across the sector. A key highlight includes a York FinTech showcase, where founders will pitch their solutions to a live audience. The forum will close with a future-focused session and a networking lunch.
Please note that valid government ID is required to check-in at the event.
We’re currently at capacity for the event – please join the waitlist and we will reach out if any place become available.
