FIS Connect Virtual 2020: A Brand New Global Virtual Conference

Thursday, May 14, 2020

Company: FIS

Given the recent challenges and a future-state that has yet to be established, this is truly a pivotal moment for the world of finance and in fact the entire world.

Market turbulence and uncertainties; falling interest rates and pressure on credit markets; rapidly evolving regulatory constraints coupled with new work-from-home mandates – all continue to challenge the capital markets industry.

And as we pivot to the new normal, we must now take a bigger-picture approach to solve for this change. But that requires bigger thinking, bigger commitment, and bigger advances in way the world pays, banks and invests. This is where FIS Capital Markets can help.

And it’s precisely why we believe this moment is beyond pivotal. It’s PIVOTALL.

Join us at Connect 2020 to discuss the bigger challenges and how we can solve them together.

SPECIAL GUEST KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Sheila Bair

Preeminent Financial Reform and Policy Innovator and Former Chairman, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), 2006-2011

From Time's "Top 100" list to the Wall Street Journal's "The 50 Women to Watch," Sheila Bair has been a leading domestic and global expert in finance and economics.

Ms. Bair is perhaps best known as Chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) from 2006 to 2011, when she steered the agency through the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, working to bolster public confidence in the nation's banking system. Throughout her five-year term, Ms. Bair maintained a singular focus on the banking public, securing for bank depositors seamless, uninterrupted access to their insured accounts even as the FDIC managed 370 bank failures. Early in her tenure, she was a singular and prescient advocate for systematic loan modifications to stem the coming tidal wave of foreclosures.

Sir Chris Hoy

Britain's most decorated Olympian, an eleven-time World Champion and winner of six Olympic gold medals

Starting out in competitive BMX at the age of seven, Chris became Scottish champion and was ranked ninth in the world. As a teenager he also competed as a rower, winning silver in the junior coxless pairs at the British Championships; but he decided to concentrate his efforts on track cycling and by the age of twenty he was part of the national squad. Chris' first Olympic gold came in Athens, winning the 1km time trial in a competition many saw as the best ever in the category. Another three wins at the Beijing Games saw Chris become the first Brit in a century to claim three golds in one summer games, marking him out as a British sporting hero. In London, however, he was promoted to sporting legend winning both his competitions and providing some of the most emotive images of the games. He retired from competition with an incredible six golds and a total of seven Olympic medals.
