💸 This September, Vienna will become the premier destination for #financial #technology and #payments #research.

We invite you to a unique convergence of #tech #innovators and #economists, where the future of money will be on the agenda. Among many other highlights, this event will focus on preparing the monetary system for the digital age and ensuring that electronic payments achieve the same level of security and privacy as cash transactions.

Hosted at the Austrian Central Bank, this year’s event follows prestigious previous venues such as MIT and Princeton.

The event unfolds in two conferences:
🗓 Advances in Financial Technologies (#AFT2024): Sept 23–25 (Mon–Wed)
🗓 Economics of Payments (EoP) Conference: Sept 25–27 (Wed–Fri)

As a highlight, on ➡ Wednesday ⬅, both conferences will merge for #collaborative #sessions, promoting interdisciplinary dialogue on the economic and policy dimensions of payment, clearing, and settlement systems.

🌟 Top Keynote Speakers 🌟

We are honored to feature distinguished keynote speakers:

🎤 Neha Narula, Director of the Digital Currency Initiative at MIT Media Lab, member of the Innovation Advisory Council for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, TED speaker on the future of money, and recognized by WIRED as one of the 25 leaders shaping the next 25 years of technology.

🎙️ Charles M. Kahn, Professor Emeritus of Finance and Economics at the University of Illinois, is an expert in financial intermediation and the economics of payments, and a frequent consultant for central banks and international organizations.

How do we tackle rising #cybercrime?
First, identify case connections. @CSHVienna researcher @bhaslhofer, with the Bavarian Cybercrime Prosecutor (ZCB), developed a tool. They found 97% of #sextortion and 41% of #cybertrading fraud cases are linked.
