The conference is one of the largest, if not the largest, FinTech conference in the world with more than 1500 attendees - VCs, Founders, Developers, and C- Level Executives - from all over the world. It is perhaps only eclipsed by [Finovate Fall](http://fall2016.finovate.com/) in New York City, the conference's original venue
So how to best prepare for our venture abroad especially when it’s to a cosmopolitan, FinTech center like London? This is a semi-shopaholic wannabe jet-setter's guide who soon realized that many companies demoing would provide solutions for travel details and making payments.

## [The Rise of the New FinTech Middle Man](https://www.byteacademy.co/blog/the-rise-of-the-new-fintech-middle-man)
By [Emily](https://www.byteacademy.co/blog/author/emily-hunt) on Aug 17, 2020 1:34:29 PM
As large banks embrace FinTech start-ups and their advanced technology rather than compete against them, both parties aim to eliminate the “middle man” in financial services transactions. This “middle man” is a metaphor for the different steps of customer interaction that technology has removed to make banking more efficient. However, in the hyper-speed environment from which bank - start-up integrations emerge, a new middle man - between these parties has become necessary.

## [4 Big Ways Data Science is Transforming the FinTech Industry](https://www.byteacademy.co/blog/data-science-fintech)

The financial industry is no stranger to the power of technology. After all, it has developed its own legion of Quants who use advanced quantitative analysis and programming techniques to exploit big opportunities in the capital markets. Despite being highly regulated, the FinTech industry is booming with the entry of smaller startups looking to disrupt the space with the latest technologies, with [data science](https://byteacademy.co/all-courses/data-science-immersive/) being at the topmost of the list.

## [Startup Lesson: Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data](https://www.byteacademy.co/blog/startup-artificial-intelligence-ai)

FinTech startup VendorMach provided lessons in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and big data on the Byte campus recently. Topics covered by Chaney Ojinnaka, CEO, and Ivan Kotorov, VP, Enterprise, included: KYC (Know Your Customer), supply chain, trust scoring and programming languages. They explained why *they chose* *Python over Ruby for their product. Python's ability to analyze numbers and frameworks are key (as a Python school we're thrilled:)*. VendorMach also discussed FinTech cultural attitudes in London (original headquarters) and New York City (second office location). By the end of the event the audience felt much much comfortable with "hot" technology buzzwords including artificial intelligence, machine learning, supply chain and more.

*The advent of cryptocurrency, such as bitcoin, has seen widespread and rapid use to the point where high-profile companies are beginning to take an interest by allowing electronic currency to be used for their transactions.*

Perhaps no other development is as well known for its “disruptive” nature than the blockchain, the digital, decentralized ledger behind bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that has held the spotlight over the past year. Banks all around the world are exploring the blockchain’s capabilities. It may significantly reduce overhead costs in the financial sector.
Some of the latest technologies which use the blockchain and increases its applications by developers were presented at [FinDEVr,](http://findevr.com/) the FinTech for developers conference held in New York City at the end of this March.
