Throughout the academic year, HLSBFI hosts practitioner-led lunch panels and workshops exploring blockchain, fintech, digital asset regulation, and financial innovation. These events are distinct from our flagship Annual Conference, which brings together regulators, academics, and industry leaders for a full day of discussion each spring.
