Introduction

It is great to be here at our 2017 ob体育 Annual Forum.

I am very excited about the theme of our conference this year, which is 鈥楩uture Focus鈥�.

In this fast paced environment, I think it鈥檚 critical we keep our eyes on the transformative changes on the horizon.

I am looking forward to exploring with you, developments we anticipate in the future 鈥� and even those we might not anticipate.

To start off today, I would like to:

  • give my thoughts on where we are now 鈥� and where we are heading 鈥� as we speed into a new future
  • talk about some of the benefits and risks that can emerge from the fintech and regtech developments we are seeing and will continue to see, and
  • touch on what our responses to these developments are, and should be, going forward.
