What happens when you bring 8,200 delegates together for a banking event?

Well, you get at least some bizarre tweets. Here are the 8 oddest tweets from this year’s Sibos, which took place last week in Singapore. They say as much about the uncertainty of the future of banking as they do about the nature of social media in the banking industry today.

Do you say “locked”? …

@LizLum Hope you had a great time. What a treat to spend a Sibos not locked inside a perspex box, eh?

Obviously, it wasn’t all weird tweets out of Sibos. Perhaps that most notable news was Hyperledger, which demoed at our Bank Innovation in Seattle last March, winning the $50,000 Innotribe Startup Challenge. Hyperledger was acquired by the Blythe Masters-led Digital Asset Holdings in June. See Hyperledger’s original Innotribe pitch below.
