Money2020 Special Edition: The Sound of Payments | John Ryan, Founder at PayEd - Education in Payments

Purpose Driven FinTech

Money20/20 Amsterdam was the event of the Summer! A place where new ideas, perspectives and people meet. It is definitely not your traditional event, it is fun and experiential. I had a blast and without a doubt I can say it was an amazing life and professional experience. So I’ll dedicate today’s episode to my session titled "The Sound of Payments"

Of course I’m biased because that was my talk . But genuinely, I thought it was an amazing creative session where we mixed the right and left brain. First you had me explaining the trends of the industry, while in the background you had poets capturing my thoughts and message in their own words. After each trend, I would then handover to the DJ Angus, and he’d open the floor to the poets, who in turn, they would do an amazing performance paraphrasing my words into a wonderful piece of art / music. I was told by the audience, this was mesmerizing and as I talked through each of the trends, the energy started to build up!

And of course I can’t close this section without giving huge thanks and kudos to John Ryan, founder of PayEd. He was the mastermind behind The Sound of Payments, and I’m honored that out of all the people in the world, he invited me as part of the Advisory Board to be the one representing PayEd - Education in Payments on stage. I’m extremely grateful, thanks John!
