2024 Featured Speakers
"One has to admit that conferences and forums are often about either vague ideas or mere pitches, but this time, it was quite different, and on quite a few occasions, I found that I had collected some really valuable insights on #blockchain and #AI. I think the galaxy of thought leaders, regulators, policymakers, academics, etc was a really good mix."
Juan Ignacio Ibanez
Chief of Staff, DLT Science Foundation
"There are a lot of technological changes and a lot of work on technologies by central banks and the private sector. It’s very important not to keep this work at the far end of the spectrum of technology (in the) innovation lab. (We) need to bring it into the mainstream to understand how this technology can work, and for that, you need people to get together—lawyers, regulators, central banks, and private investors. And this is what it (Point Zero Forum) does – and it’s doing a tremendous job."
Andrea Maechler
Deputy General Manager, Bank for International Settlements,
Previously Member of the Governing Board of the Swiss National Bank
