Attendees were immersed in payment and financial technology that could shape the future of banking. Speakers offered motivation and advice for financial institutions of all sizes.
Closing take-away from #EBADay2018 for me is that there are three pillars: technology, culture, and communities that when combined lead to successful business outcomes from integration and transformation #EPAM
