SamvAAd 2023 - Let's Open Finance!
24 May 2023
With an impressive turnout of more than 1100 attendees, SamvAAd2023 has left an indelible mark on all who participated. The event saw an active engagement from around 300 cross-sectoral financial institutions, as well as innovative FinTechs and technology service providers (TSPs). The event constituted insightful knowledge sessions and expert panel sessions from prominent policymakers and practitioners. Furthermore, the event also saw captivating live use case presentations from ecosystem participants through the 14 “Show-and-tell” sessions. At the same time, we were privileged to have 22 customers share their experiences of AA through video testimonials.
This landmark gathering was a remarkable celebration of open dialogue, knowledge sharing, and the recognition of outstanding achievements of the ecosystem. The event was also an opportune moment to thank all our volunteers and contributors for their dedication to this endeavor to usher in Open Finance. The event served as a testament to the strength and unity of the AA community, demonstrating that when like-minded individuals come together, they can accomplish great things.
