On October 3–4, 2024, the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) — alongside Cornell University Law School, the McKenna Institute and the University of New Brunswick Law School — hosted an in-person conference that brought together high-level policy makers, entrepreneurs, academics, and finance, legal and technology professionals to explore the opportunities and challenges presented by the digital transformation of the Canadian financial services industry and how policy should adapt to this changing financial, technological and regulatory landscape. This discussion built on CIGI’s previous work, with an overriding goal to help build and expand the relationships and policy networks necessary to capitalize on the opportunities presented by digital transformation and to mitigate the threats that it may pose to Canadian consumers, businesses and governments.
