A former Cabinet Secretary and leading figures from the digital cash and quantum computing world will address Guernsey in September.
The event is being hosted jointly between the Guernsey Financial Services Commission and Guernsey Finance, building on its event last year focusing on artificial intelligence.
Among the speakers are former UK National Security Advisor and Cabinet Secretary Lord Sedwill, Tata Ltd CEO, and inventor of Mondex Tim Jones CBE and Dr Dan Brown from University College London.
They will speak to cyber security, fintech, and a new algorithmic fund which recently launched locally.
Those attending the conference will also get a preview of the regulator's new digital application and authorisation portal, with some invited to set up meetings with its innovation team to talk start-up ventures.
The conference is taking place a Beau Sejour on 11 September and registrations are online.

William Mason, Director General at the Commission, said: “Technological literacy is essential in the finance industry.
“This one-day conference will bring together some leading names in their respective fields to talk about the opportunities and challenges new technologies bring, as well as the potential impact of technologies like quantum computing.”
Guernsey Finance Chief Executive, Rupert Pleasant, added: “We’re delighted to be co-hosting this exciting industry event with the Guernsey Financial Services Commission.
"The fantastic agenda builds on last year’s sell-out ‘AI and Finance in Guernsey: The Power and the Implications’ conference and demonstrates the island’s ability to look at change and see opportunity.”
