Trust is Local, Money Movement is Global

🌍 Welcome to the Future of Global Commerce!

The next generation of global commerce won't be built by one country or one company. It will be shaped by the convergence of trusted global payment networks, new digital infrastructure, AI, stablecoins, and the partnerships connecting East and West.

We're entering a new era of money movement, where advances in technology are reshaping how people, businesses, and even AI systems exchange value across borders. At the same time, different parts of the world are taking different approaches to building the financial infrastructure of the future.

Today, three major shifts are converging:

• AI is becoming an active participant in commerce—not just a tool.
• Digital money, from stablecoins to programmable payments, is becoming real financial infrastructure.
• Payment ecosystems around the world are evolving in different ways, creating new opportunities for collaboration between East and West.

✨ What to Expect:

• Explore:
  • How AI is transforming payments—from card rails to autonomous agents.
  • The rise of stablecoins as essential enterprise payment infrastructure.
  • What East and West can learn from each other's payment ecosystems.
  • How global commerce will evolve over the next decade and what founders, product leaders, and enterprises should be building today.

🎤 Meet the Speakers:

• Amir Sarhangi - CEO & Co-founder of Skyfire, the trust and transaction layer for agentic commerce.
• Christina Potter - VP of Enterprise Business Development & Partnerships at Lightspark.
• Sandra Li - Head of Business Development for US Online Business at Ant International.
• Rasik Krishna - Senior Director at Marqeta.
• More speakers will be announced soon.

👥 This won't be another conference full of prepared talking points. Expect candid fireside conversations, thoughtful debate, and the opportunity to meet the founders, operators, investors, and payment leaders building the future of global money movement.
