We usually talk about how hard it is for the financial industry to innovate at the right pace, and doing the right bets. In my opinion Latin America lags a little bit behind, in part for not having anything similar to the US' Silicon Valley. We see though, increasing efforts to generate the environment and providing places for the ecosystem to mingle.

Adding to Dan's post about Celent attending the several industry conferences around the world as part of our job, and keeping our finger on the pulse of the industry, I wanted to share a relatively new conference that is gaining a lot of traction in Latin America as a result of its effort to bring together traditional players with fintech start-ups: Next Bank.

I will be moderating a panel on Digital transformation in financial services next October 16th, 2014 at Next Bank Americas. The idea is to create an environment where innovators from within and outside financial services institutions come together to explore the digital transformation of the industry.

It is a collaborative conference that covers innovation, transformation and startup-driven disruption in financial services in Latin America. The theme is re-think and connect - addressing the reality that the industry is undergoing momentous change and it’s time for a new collaborative approach.

You will more likely encounter traditional players like banks, consultancies and technology vendors sharing the stage with alternative players like startups, digital ecosystems and players from other industries. All of these players, the old and the new, coming together to create a new community of innovators in financial services exploring the real future of the financial services industry and the big ideas that will forever change the industry in the region

As part of the conference, it will host the final of BBVA Open Talent for the US, Mexico and Canada, a startup competition in search of today’s most disruptive tech startups in these countries in two categories, New Banking and Digital Life. Celent will be writing a report of those more promising start-ups, so expect it coming soon after the conference.
