A blockbusting panel to kick-start the year and help set the roadmap for all mCommerce thinking in 2014!

A short, sharp and savvy debate on the old world of "Money" – and how it's facing radical change in the face of consumer pressure to free-up easier ways to pay and exchange finances, both to businesses and peers alike.

A thought-provoking discussion will take a walk through this highly sensitive topic:


> What do people want to do with mobile money services? Are Cards still in the game?

> Your Banking Apps: joined-up thinking or clunky corporate clutter 'the best and the worst'.

> Privacy & Security! An obvious problem, but does it have any clear solutions too?

> Great industry disasters? Is NFC really 'Not For Commerce' and will mobile wallets ever work?

> Bitcoin bonanza. In a world based on banks, has this digital currency disrupted everybody?

You, the audience, will be left to answer (and vote) on one simple question:

The Proposition: “Mobile Money and Bitcoin will overtake Cards and Cash within a decade.”
