Rethinking Payments in the Sharing Economy was presented on May 11, 2016 at the Total Payments and Retail event in Melbourne, Australia. 

In this talk, Heather Schlegel explains how the sharing economy combines traditional financial transactions and also includes emotional experiences. It goes on to explain how technology facilitates trust through a payment platform, with local regulations and global reputation systems. (Blockchain comment at the 10 minute mark.)

Heather Schlegel researches and reports on the global changes occurring in payments and transactions. Looking for a provocative future focused speaker? I'm available for keynotes, panels and corporate events. Get in touch at heathervescent@gmail.com.

We’re increasingly using technology to create our online experiences, whether it’s music or news selections, dating prospects or a personalized social feed; artificial intelligence is becoming the backbone technology creating our future experiences. Will this improve our lives or will we live in a homogenized world, where chance, diversity and serendipity are overridden by algorithms?
