INSIGHTS2040 ANNUAL MEETINGS
Engage where financial system decisions are shaped
Contribute to industry-wide initiatives and engage directly with institutions building implementation pathways for financial systems.
The Engine Behind Insights2040 Annual Meetings
Insights2040 Annual Meetings operates as a year-round platform, connecting research, dialogue, collaboration, and implementation. Across the year, we identify priorities and convene central banks, regulators, financial institutions, and technology partners through research, working groups and closed-door dialogues. Together, they produce best practices, roadmaps and actions that are endorsed each November at the Insights2040 Annual Meetings in Singapore.

An Incredible Concentration of Public and Private Sector Thought Leaders
"Insights Forum is a terrific venue to bring together different partners.
For us as a digital asset company and a fintech company, we’re able to meet with central bankers as well as other policymakers to share points of view in a more unofficial format, behind closed doors, under Chatham House Rules.
It’s a really good way to go beyond the talking points, not only within the forum itself, but also on the way to coffee or lunch, and that’s where I find tremendous value in the Insights Forum."
