"Technology is reshaping the finance industry at a breathtaking pace,
which has created a tremendous amount of momentum in FinTech," said Peter
Henry, dean of NYU Stern. "By convening leading executives and
researchers who are engaged in harnessing its potential, we can share
new insights and ideas and help Stern students and alumni navigate
future career paths."

"As disruptive technology continues to alter the landscape of the
finance industry, we are excited for the opportunity to foster a
thought-provoking conversation at NYU Stern," said Professor DeRose.
"The FinTech Conference brings together many of the field's top minds
and offers an incredible chance to examine innovation at the
intersection of finance and technology."
Panel topics range from automation in financial services, the regulatory
landscape and cashless payments and investments. Doors open on November

Center (KMC) 44
West Fourth Street (cross streets: Greene and West 4th).
"The intersection of finance and technology is at an inflection point
with the impact of technology poised to accelerate dramatically," noted Raghu
Sundaram, vice dean of MBA programs and online learning at NYU
Stern. "At Stern, we are committed to being at the forefront of this
conversation, which will continuously shape how we educate our students."
The conference complements Stern's FinTech curriculum. In June 2016,
Stern established the first FinTech MBA specialization at a top business
school. The specialization offers a range of courses that address
subjects impacting the industry today, including trading strategies;
transaction security, trade clearing and settlement; data management;
risk management; financial data analytics; regulation and the impact of
digital currencies on the financial services industry; mobile payments;
and entrepreneurial crowdfunding. A new course, Foundations of FinTech,
launched in the Undergraduate College this fall, generating twice the
expected enrollment. Additionally, in May 2018, the School will enroll
the inaugural class in its new one-year Tech
MBA program, developed through extensive conversations and in
conjunction with industry advisors, including business leaders from
Amazon, Buzzfeed, Citigroup, and General Catalyst, to name just a few.
