Running for more than 10 years, iFX EXPO International gives C-suite executives a common platform to connect, collaborate and build a community that leads the financial space into a transformative future.
iFX EXPO International 2023 commenced with a vibrant opening party at a prime seafront location, sponsored by leading financial institution BDSwiss. The theme for the event was to share “big ideas from industry pioneers,” paving the way for inspirational conversations before the main event.
Then over the next 2 days, visitors in their thousands attended the exhibition at the luxurious City of Dreams Integrated Resort venue to network, discover exciting new business opportunities and participate in insightful speaker sessions. The Official Night Party, sponsored by ZuluTrade, wrapped up a successful and very productive Day 1. Culminating this year’s show was the prestigious UF AWARDS Global 2023 Ceremony followed by the Official Closing Party.
