This year’s event will see over 130 network managers, COOs, direct custody providers, CSDs and fintech innovators at Africa's essential post-trade and custody industry gathering to discuss various topics, with a core focus on how to face the future together by focusing on the key areas of growth and challenges that the market faces.
Some of the conversations that we will be adding our voice to include the following:
- ‘New Markets and New Asset Classes: Opportunities vs Challenges’ featuring Chenge Besa, Head: Custody Products -Growth Markets, Africa
