Synopsis
In this ascendant age of digital banking and finance, it is ever more vital for regulators, stakeholders and legal experts to continually engage in conversations on the need and content of industry regulation.

Speakers include our Guest of Honour, Justice Ang Cheng Hock (Supreme Court of Singapore), and Ms Ipshita Chaturvedi (Dentons Rodyk), Ms Natalie Curtis (Herbert Smith Freehills), Mr Lam Chee Kin (DBS Bank), Mr Howard Silby (National Australia Bank), and Mr Tan Boon Gin (Singapore Exchange Regulation).
