Libor underpins $300 trillion of bonds, loans & derivatives and has been the benchmark used to determine interest rates on everything from student loans, mortgages to derivatives and credit cards  Will it really cease to exist in 2021? What does the future of the industry look like post-Libor?

Sionic Managing Partner Xavier Pujos discusses these and other topics and demonstrates the Sionic Libor Utility Model at this industry-leading event.
