Prime Minister of Bahamas, Philip Davis, CEOs, Entrepreneurs, Investors, Policymakers, and tech community leaders will gather next week at SiliconCaribe’s first annual Future of Caribbean Money (FOCMNY) event on December 8 & 9th, 2021.

“We’re happy to have just over 30 Caribbean and Global speakers, who are people representing businesses and organisations already re-imagining and reshaping how Caribbean people, make, manage and invest their money using technologies like blockchain, cryptocurrency, NFTs, eCommerce, digital payments,” said Ingrid Riley, founder of SiliconCaribe, the digital media, and events company that organised the event.

Over 10 panels, fireside chats, and masterclasses, entrepreneurs, executives, creatives, and the digitally curious will learn about current financial technology and digital trends, hear success stories and get actionable data and insights.

While the event is 98% virtual, there will also be an in-person aspect to the conference for 50 vaxxed people in Nassau, Bahamas at the headquarters of a women-led Crypto Startup called Crypto Isle.

“It is time we amplify the knowledge and broaden the discussion around blockchain and crypto as an engine for Caribbean economic development,” said Dr. Jillian Bethel, Co-founder of Crypto Isle. “This is why we’re excited to also have the Bahamian Minister of Economic Development the Hon. Michael B. Halkitis joining us for this event,” Bethel added.
