MST Financial continued the 2025 Directors & Executive Forum series in Sydney last night, marking our fourth event of the year, hosted in partnership with MinterEllison.

The evening featured a compelling agenda highlighting some of the most transformative trends shaping business and finance. Daniel Scotti, Partner at MinterEllison, welcomed attendees, followed by John Brogden, AM, Chair of the Australian Payments Network, who shared his perspectives on the evolution of the Australian payments system. Paul Chan, Founder and Co-CEO of Decidr AI, provided thought leadership on where AI is likely to disrupt and how businesses can strategically benefit from these changes. Lafitani Sotiriou, Senior Analyst at MST Financial, explored the emergence of stablecoins, and Philip Marquet, Partner at MinterEllison, closed the session with a detailed analysis of the layers of responsibility following the First Guardian fallout.

The forum once again proved to be an outstanding platform for insight, debate, and connection. We extend our sincere thanks to our speakers, partners, clients, and corporates for their continued engagement, which makes these events such a success.

A special thank you to MinterEllison for their ongoing support in hosting the evening and fostering meaningful conversations that advance Australia’s corporate, financial, and technology landscape.
