Previous events have been held in several of the world's most dynamic financial hubs: Dubai, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Mumbai, and New York.
“FDF Miami 2025 will spotlight some of the most transformative and disruptive topics in finance today, including AI, small business lending, embedded finance, regulation, open banking, and big data,” said Rohit Arora, the conference chairperson and co-founder of Biz2X and parent company Biz2Credit. “The University of Miami’s Herbert Business School, which educates the next generation of financial professionals to better understand the delivery of financial services through use of technological innovation and automation, is the ideal location for this conference.”
Among the topics on the agenda at FDF Miami will be AI in Financial Services, Embedded Finance: Emerging Trends; Digital Transformation in Financial Services; and Developments in Small Business Lending: Expanding Access to Capital.
