Dear journalists,

Finance of Tomorrow, an international event about the current landscape and future of financial regulation in Latin America and the Caribbean, has started press accreditation.

The Museum of Tomorrow and Maravalley, both located in Porto Maravilha, Rio de Janeiro, will host the event from August 12 to 14. It will gather the region’s main regulators, representatives of fintechs, central banks, and private financial and public policy leaders to discuss the transformation of the sector.

For accreditation, please send the details (media outlet, journalist’s name, email, and contact) to press@financeoftomorrow.global.

There will be at least 60 speakers, including Otávio Damaso, Director of Regulation at the Central Bank, Gabriel Galipolo, Director of Monetary Policy at the Central Bank, João Pedro Nascimento, President of the CVM (Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission), and Sheldon Mills, Director of the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority), UK.

Check out the full list of debates and the schedule on the FoT website.

The Central Bank and Invest.Rio, the investment promotion and attraction agency of Rio de Janeiro’s city hall, are institutional supporters of FoT, which is part of the G20 parallel calendar.

Additionally, FoT also receives support from organizations and entities such as Zetta, Febraban, Deep ESG, and Monashees, as well as the UK embassy in Brazil.

More than 20 sessions and panels will discuss topics such as financial inclusion, tokenization, carbon markets, artificial intelligence, climate change impact investments, privacy law and financial sector regulation, digital identity and customer data rights, combating financial crime, among other subjects.

The 30th anniversary of the Real Plan will also be celebrated at the event. Economists Pedro Malan and Gustavo Franco, former presidents of the Central Bank and key figures of the Real Plan, will speak in a special session on the first day in the panel “The Next 30 Years of Money,” which will also feature journalist Pedro Dória. Following the session, Malan and Franco will sign copies of the book “30 years of the Real Plan: chronicles in the heat of the moment,” which they co-authored with economist Edmar Bacha.

“Finance of Tomorrow is a unique opportunity to learn, exchange experiences and perspectives on financial regulation, and advance ideas in search of solutions for the transformations we are experiencing,” says Gavin Littlejohn, founder of the British consultancy Potion Global, organizer of the event, and responsible for the implementation of open banking in the UK. The consultancy also has Brazilian partners, executive Marco Araújo and investor Bianca Lopes.
