Fintech Meetup is a three-day annual conference running February 22-24, 2027, at The Venetian in Las Vegas, bringing together participants from across financial services.
Fintech Meetup is more than a fintech event. It’s a phenomenon. A dynamic platform where the entire fintech ecosystem gathers to connect, learn, and shape the future of financial services.
Founder brief
Who should attend
Founders building products in the fintech sector benefit from attending to engage directly with financial services operators, technical leaders, and regulatory executives. Those seeking enterprise partnerships or insights across open finance, risk, and payments will find relevant discussions throughout the gathering.
What happens
Spanning three days in Las Vegas, the schedule features presentations and discussions led by fintech practitioners and industry executives. Rather than featuring formal founder pitch competitions, the conference focuses on collective learning, networking across the financial ecosystem, and examining practical developments in modern banking infrastructure.
Who's in the room
Attendees will hear from speakers such as Alex Johnson of Fintech Takes, Alex Preece, and corporate leaders including Bart Willaert, Bernadette Ksepka, and Biswarup Chatterjee. Participants include chief risk officers, compliance heads, engineering directors, and chief technology executives active across modern payments.
How to prepare
Research the attending companies and functional roles in advance to prioritize conversations that align with your product roadmap. Bring clear talking points on how your venture solves compliance, payments, or infrastructure challenges, and be ready to discuss operational integration points rather than delivering an investor pitch.
