Event Description

Money is more than a medium of exchange — it’s one of humanity’s most powerful inventions. As a social technology, it has shaped empires, sparked revolutions, and underpinned the global economy for millennia.

But money doesn’t stand still.

In this compelling session, Karl Schamotta, Chief Market Strategist at Corpay, takes us on a journey through the evolution of money — from ancient barter systems to today’s algorithm-driven markets and decentralized cryptocurrencies.

Through historical insight and expert analysis, Karl will explore:

  • How money has changed across cultures and civilizations
  • The rise of digital currencies and real-time global transactions
  • What the future may hold in a world of AI, blockchain, and financial disruption

Whether you’re a finance professional, strategist, or simply curious about what comes next, this event will challenge how you think about currency — and your role within it.

* Price includes two (2) Drink tickets
