We’re over the moon to announce our first Liverpool Conference in over 4 years, which is set to take place on the 28th of March 2024 at the University of Liverpool’s new Yoko Ono Lennon Centre – hosted in partnership with headline sponsors, Lenvi and brand sponsors, Mastercard, Growth Platform and The University of Liverpool.

We know there’s real momentum in the Liverpool City Region. Liverpool’s iconic waterfront is the focal point for a significant FinTech ecosystem, contributing an estimated £218.6m in GVA per year to the regional economy, whilst laying claim to more than 40 FinTechs, according to Whitecap Consulting’s latest research, which also found real strengths in WealthTech and InsurTech.

We can’t wait to provide a platform that shines a light on Liverpool’s exciting FinTech ecosystem, and we want you to be a part of it.

Join us for a day of cutting-edge insights; covering national FinTech developments, regional FinTech innovation and unparalleled networking opportunities with Liverpool’s emergent FinTech ecosystem.
