FINTECH CONFERENCE-NEW YORK

Fintech 2018: The Intersection of Business and Research

The Fintech 2018 conference will be jointly sponsored by The Peter J. Tobin College of Business of St. John’s University, the Asia-Pacific Applied Economics Association and FintechNews.org, at St. John’s Manhattan, New York City campus.
This conference will be unique for two reasons.

First, it will bring together under one roof both academics and industry experts. The first half of the conference day will be devoted to understanding Fintech—the key issues, trends, and challenges from an industry point of view, while the second half of the day will include presentations of ideas and findings from academic research.

Second, the conference will provide multiple networking opportunities where academic researchers will be able to discuss their ideas and data challenges with industry experts. It is envisaged that this proposed interaction of industry experts and academic researchers on Fintech will open opportunities for cutting-edge research on Fintech.

CALL FOR PAPERS
The 6th Applied Financial Modelling Conference will be jointly hosted by St. John’s University, the Asia-Pacific Applied Economics Association, and the Centre for Financial Econometrics (Deakin University). The conference will be hosted at the New York City campus of St. John’s University. Authors are invited to submit their research papers (in English) in both PDF and word versions to the following address: contact.apaea@gmail.com and contact@a-paea.org

WHAT MATTERS NOW?

Powerful forces are reshaping the financial industry. Proliferation of digital technologies, lack of trust, arrival of new generations, regulatory requirements, demographics and economics are together creating an imperative to change. Banks and Insurances need to know, understand and get ahead of these challenges and retool to win in the next era. Therefore, inspired by the wonderful book of Gary Hamel, the leitmotiv of the New York Fintech Conference is the following: What Matters Now?
For us, five issues are paramount: Foresight, Innovation, Values, Adaptability, and Synergies.

Here is our logic for choosing these topics:

– Foresight Matters: if you don’t know where you are going, you might end up somewhere else. Many companies can manage short-term bursts of high performance, but only a few can sustain it over a longer period.
– Innovation Matters: even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there. In a densely connected global economy, successful products and strategies are quickly copied.
– Values Matter: doing right because it is right, not because it pays, needs to be the foundation of business. A sound development of business ethics should not forget an obvious and important consideration: business is about human activity that is carried out by individuals within organizations.
– Adaptability Matters: crazy times call for crazy organizations. In a world of mind-flipping change, what matters is not merely a company’s competitive advantage at a point in time, but its evolutionary advantage over time. An adaptable company requires adaptable minds.
– Synergies Matter: Synergy is the benefit that results when two or more agents work together to achieve something either one couldn’t have achieved on its own. It’s the concept of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. In today’s world, synergies equal to more efficiency, more efficacy, and higher profitability.
