This is a quick reminder to the FINOS Community that UK clocks have gone back by 1 hour to GMT, which means there's now a 4 hours time difference between New York City and London. Please check FINOS Project and SIG start times over the next couple of weeks until US clocks go back and we all fall back in line again.

 

OSSF NY and the FINOS Member Meetings are now just eight days away! The Open Source Strategy Forum is the premier event driving collaboration and innovation in financial services through open source software and standards. There is still time to register and be a part of the community of people, working together to develop best practices, projects, and standards that provide value to our companies, our communities, to the entire financial services industry, and to us individually.

 

Come meet the FINOS Community, our team, and FINOS Members alongside keynote speakers such as Jo Ann Barefoot, CEO & Founder, Alliance for Innovative Regulation, Christine Moy, Managing Director; Global Head of Liink, Onyx by J.P. Morgan, and Joseph Lubin, Co-founder of Ethereum and Founder of ConsenSys, plus much, much more.

 

Register now for OSSF New York and the FINOS Member Meetings on Tuesday 9th November and Wednesday 10th November at New World Stages to engage with over 25+ sessions, revealing recent developments and the direction of open source in financial services across a wide range of topics and domains. FINOS member employees can attend OSSF and the FINOS Member Meeting for FREE.
