The events industry was one of the sectors worst affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent health restrictions.

The rise of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets to prominence has been nothing short of meteoric.

Bold claims were bandied about including the theory that the movement would soon supersede the traditional banking sector in terms of popularity. Nowadays, things don’t look as cut and dry. Personally, I’m still a supporter of the fintech sector and feel that there is still vast potential for it to create real change for businesses and consumers, but I’ll also admit that a lot of those early proclamations have now been shown to be quite wide of the mark.
