Ever since kicking off on the campus of Georgetown University Law Center in 2017, DC Fintech Week has had a simple objective: democratize information and allow everyone from nonprofits and technologists to entrepreneurs and regulators to engage one another in a meaningful dialogue about fintech and the future of finance.

On each day, on every panel, the conference brings the best and the brightest to Washington DC for discussions spanning the fintech ecosystem: crowdfunding, online lending, cryptocurrencies, cybersecurity, AI, open banking and more. As such, it is one of the few panels open to the public where top officers from the BIS, US Treasury Department, and SEC are able to dialogue collectively with economists, Bitcoin traders, academics, civil rights activists, and digital infrastructure providers
