Summit 2022

The highly focused two-day Summit, hosted by the Financial Data and Technology Association (FDATA), brings together regulators, policy makers, thought leaders and industry delegates from around the world to discuss the delivery of open finance, international collaboration on standards and the setting of the agenda for best practices across the ecosystem.

This discussion is truly global: building on the success and impact of previous Summits, FDATA again plans to host the Central Banks of Europe, Japan and Brazil; regulators from around the world; European Commission; key US agencies (including the OCC, Federal Reserve and CFPB), and many others in attendance.

The Summit provides an opportunity for both formal and informal discussions with policy makers and shapers across markets at different stages of open banking/open finance delivery, offering the chance to develop new relationships with those setting the agenda in banking, finance, and ultimately in data-sharing across sectors. It is also the forum to discuss the realities of delivering a truly transformational initiative at a market, regional, and global scale. A unique setting, the Summit sees competitors convene to discuss how the rules of the game shape the nature of the game, and find common ground to evolve the market that allows for innovation, commercial viability, stability, and optimal end-consumer outcomes.

In a world of Uncoordinated Diversity, Contribute to the Humanifesto for Ethical Data Use

FDATA believes that as the world moves towards the model of an open data economy, the market deserves to identify clear principles to guide ethical data use, in policy and in practice. The Summit provides an opportunity for policy makers and business practitioners to create a Humanifesto for Ethical Data Use: one that rallies around the end-customer, that focuses on an agnostic technical standard that continues to evolve as technology improves, that focuses on how data access and consent function that minimises unintended consequences, and that enables commercial best practices.

FDATA invites Summit participants to be part of this co-creation, as we together define the purpose, the values, the principles, and ultimately the pledge that will underpin this Humanifesto. We do not expect to have a final version at the conclusion of the Summit; we anticipate that this Humanifesto will continue to evolve as open data economies evolve. Together we can chart the path forward as we revisit Ethical Data Use in future Summits. Click here to download the summit programme.

The 5th Annual Global Open Finance Summit will be held at McEwan Hall in Edinburgh. Located in central Edinburgh, the McEwan Hall was presented to the University in 1897 by William McEwan, not only as a ceremonial hall for graduations but also as a gift to the people of Edinburgh. This iconic Grade A listed building was designed by Sir Rowand Anderson, with lavish interiors by William Palin. The building was actually completed in 1894 but took another three years to complete the interior designs, the centrepiece being the 15 beautifully painted mural panels that make up the vast dome.

The hall was reopened in 2017 following a painstaking 3-year, multi-million pound refurbishment. This was meant to not only ‘refresh’ it’s beautifully intricate painting and stonework; but also to expand the function of the hall to meet the modern ceremonial and commercial demands of the University of Edinburgh.
