ABOUT

The Digital Finance Institute founded, produces and hosts the National FinTech Canada Conference, the country’s premier FinTech conference in Toronto, now in its 5th year. FinTech Canada is different - we don’t try to be everything to everybody. We focus just on financial services for a tailored conference experience and we are where CEOs come to speak. We pride ourselves on bringing international thought leaders to Toronto so that we can learn from others and they can learn from us. The Institute, based in Toronto, researches and writes white papers on financial technology and AI, engages in community FinTech developments and produces events to support Canadian innovation including the FinTech & AI Awards.
