Money 20/20 Asia in Bangkok
Attending Money 20/20 Asia in Bangkok with my press pass felt like stepping into the beating heart of the fintech revolution. The energy at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center was electric – a buzzing hive of sharp suits and brilliant ideas. It was a stark contrast to the scrappier vibe of SEA Blockchain Week; Money 20/20 oozed sophistication and strategic ambition.
The keynotes were certainly a spectacle, but I found myself most drawn to the intimate side conversations. Over steaming cups of Thai coffee, I had thought-provoking discussions with founders disrupting remittance models, regulators navigating the crypto landscape, and investors betting big on financial inclusion. And let's not forget the exhibition floor – a dazzling showcase of the tech poised to change how we bank, spend, and invest.
Honestly, the most thrilling part of Money 20/20 Asia was the sense of possibility that permeated the entire event. It felt like the entire Asian fintech ecosystem was converging, not just to network, but to actively build the future of finance. I walked away with a bursting notebook, a stack of business cards, and the invigorating feeling that I had witnessed something truly special.
