About
WPI Business School organized this two-day conference with FLAME University as a meeting point for academics, practitioners, and regulators working on digital finance. Sessions were scheduled to look at how AI, blockchain, digital assets, and payments are changing financial services, along with the role of data in driving new products. Attendees were expected to include researchers, people from industry, policymakers, and students, so the agenda was billed as mixing academic findings with commercial and regulatory viewpoints.

The conference took place at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, 100 Institute Road, Worcester, MA 01609.
FinTech Frontiers is the 2nd Northeast U.S. FinTech Conference, hosted by WPI Business School in collaboration with FLAME University. It was billed as a collaborative forum for research, industry perspectives, policy discussions, and conversations on digital finance, AI, and blockchain.
It was most useful for academics, graduate students and policy-minded practitioners in digital finance, since the conference was hosted by WPI Business School with FLAME University and mixed research, industry and policy discussion. As the 2nd edition of a university-hosted regional event, it was a smaller setting than a commercial fintech show, so dealmakers and vendors seeking large buyer pools would have gotten less from it.
Attendees at academic fintech conferences usually wear business casual, with professors and industry guests in blazers and students in smart casual. Worcester in late October is cool, so a coat or layer helps for walking around campus.
