“We are excited to be hosting our Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Conference in Jersey on 20th September. Developments in the application of Blockchain could represent an opportunity for Jersey’s financial services industry or a threat to its business model and understanding how this technology might develop is critical for Jersey’s financial services professionals. With a superb line-up of speakers from on and off-island, we are looking forward to exploring important aspects of how technology and financial services are coming together and how this might impact the financial services industry.”
