Last Saturday happened the first BarCampBank London. I shared earlier my excitement of participating to this first English BarCampBank and I must say that I’ve not been disapointed. BCBL was just great!
First we had an interesting mix of participants with
- a lot of influential bloggers, including James Gardner, Dave Birch, Chris Skinner and many others.
- a lot of young fi-startups, including Kublax, Scred, KuberaMoney and many others
- and there were representants of several big banks, mainly from the innovation departements
Second, the different workshops were really great and covered diverse subjects like biometrics in fi-services, innovation and regulation, near money, open banking,.. This all showed that the European ecosystem in financial services is currently full of vibrance.
I disclosed earlier the different projects I’m working on. At BCBL, I had the opportunity to expose in more details the piece about FundCamp FinTech. From the reactions to the discussion and because of the general atmosphere during this BarCampBank, I feel that we should definitely move forward. Anyone interested in this intiative, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Glad that it was a great event! I hope to make it to a future BCBL!
