Forbes, the leading global business media brand, in partnership with Celo, the mobile-first blockchain for emerging markets, will be holding an event that brings together key financial leaders on a high-level dialogue to discuss the future of digital currencies and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
The virtual event will involve central bank leaders, private banking executives, and firms actively involved in the development of critical and evolving technology to explore design decisions being adopted to make money more secure, trustworthy, and enable cross-border transactions.
The event comes at just the right time when countries around the world are exploring the use and implementation of either wholesale or retain CBDCs.
