Last year, we welcomed representatives from 33 countries and had a terrific balance of fintech, mobile, finance and payments organizations. We have an intriguing mix of subject matter experts of all levels: 70% of our delegates are director level or higher, which means our speakers face an informed and challenging audience.”

Mobey Day brings together a wide range of leading experts from across the banking, fintech, payments and mobile ecosystems to dissect the technologies, trends and business models that are altering the course of digital finance.

“Mobey Day is a chance for us to open up and welcome the rest of the industry to Mobey Forum,” adds Frisk. “Our international and cross industry membership is both close and collaborative. Mobey Day reflects this via an intimate and in-depth conference that explores the next wave of fintech innovation through discourse, discovery and experimentation. Our members and speakers are those shaping the future of payments and defining the winning customer experience.”

The two-day Mobey Day event is expected to attract more than 350 delegates in digital finance, payments, fintech telecom and mobile, from more than from 38 countries.
