“Laws, like sausages, cease to inspire respect in proportion as we know how they are made.” Or so the aphorism goes. Regulation in the US is inherently political. And legislative and regulatory processes are vital to understand when working in an industry that thrives on public trust. In this panel, Congressman Nickel will be joined by ex-SEC Acting Chairman Elad Roisman, and Chris Brummer, with decades of experience in advisory, advocacy, and policy making experience, to speak to the industry about the processes and politics of getting things done in Washington, DC. Led by Stephen Sikes of Public, this session is definitely not to be missed by anyone who wants to understand the future of fintech.
