On Friday, April 25 at 11:30 am ET, the Atlantic Council will host an #ACFrontPage conversation featuring Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman on the impact of technology on the modern financial system.

The global financial landscape is undergoing profound changes, driven by shifting economic dynamics and technological innovations, including the rise of digital assets. Such innovation is introducing new opportunities and challenges for industry stakeholders.

In this conversation, Friedman will discuss current market trends, broader economic conditions, and Nasdaq’s evolution from a traditional exchange to a technology partner within the global financial ecosystem. Friedman will also explore how technology is driving the global financial system, strengthening resilience, and fostering adaptability in the face of emerging challenges.

The event will be held in person at the Atlantic Council’s headquarters in Washington, DC, and will also be livestreamed on Atlantic Council TV, YouTube, Facebook, and X.
