Adding a New Breakout Track on Fraud and Identity at LendIt Fintech USA
We have made a change on our agenda for LendIt Fintech USA at the Javits Center in New York City on May 25-26. Gone is the Green Fintech track and in its place is a new track we are calling Data, Fraud, and the Future of Identity.
We were reluctant to make this change because I am a huge believer in green fintech and want to continue to champion it. But when I looked at the requests from the several hundred speaker submissions it became obvious to me that we needed to make the change. We only had three requests from potential speakers interested in speaking on green fintech, but we had over 50 submissions on fraud and identity.
So, even though we are in the advanced stages of planning for the agenda we decided to make this change. We will be connecting with potential speakers for this new track this week.
And I hope and expect we will be back with a green fintech track next year.
