Fintech Meetup 2027

How it compares

Money20/20 is the broader Las Vegas comparison. Its audience spans banks, payments, technology, retail and startups. A company seeking a larger public presence, media conversations or exposure across several parts of the money ecosystem has good reasons to choose it. Fintech Meetup gives greater prominence to the mutually selected meeting schedule, making the purpose of the trip more closely tied to specific buyer and partner conversations.

FinovateSpring in San Diego answers a different question: what does the technology actually do? Its live, seven-minute demonstrations put working products in front of banking decision-makers, and the 2026 gathering brought more than 1,200 senior participants. It suits a product comparison exercise or a company ready to show a working solution. Fintech Meetup is the stronger fit when the task is to assemble relationships across buyers, investors and providers.

For a European commercial agenda, Fintech Meetup Europe carries the meeting-led format into European banking, payments and commerce. Its next gathering is in Paris. The choice between the sister events follows the institutions and markets a team needs to reach.

Fintech Meetup fits teams whose fintech trip needs to produce conversations with buyers, distribution partners and investors.

Who exhibits

The commercial mix covers banking technology, payments, lending, fraud and embedded finance, alongside early-stage fintech businesses. Qualified banks, credit unions and merchants participate as buyers, which gives the expo a clear technology-sourcing purpose. Hosted Meetings sit alongside the standard attendee program, so an exhibiting company can combine a physical presence with targeted buyer conversations. The Digital Assets Series also brings custody, compliance, settlement and blockchain infrastructure into the same commercial setting.

Fintech Meetup 2027

Fintech Meetup 2027 adds the Digital Assets Series as an integrated part of its conference, expo and meeting program. Stablecoins, tokenization, blockchain infrastructure and institutional adoption have a dedicated content space, with crypto-focused breakfast TableTalks and specific tags and filters in the Meetings Program. The new strand puts digital asset providers into conversations with financial institutions and investors across the wider event.

• For digital asset sourcing, use the program's specific tags and filters to find relevant institutions, infrastructure providers and investors.
• Eligible Digital Assets Series participants can use crypto-focused breakfast TableTalks for small-group, off-the-record discussion about implementation questions; check TableTalk access with the organizer.
• Treat the standard Meetings Program and Hosted Meetings as separate options: the latter adds qualified matching, priority scheduling and package-based meeting commitments.

Exhibiting

Exhibiting sponsors use the Venetian's Halls CD. The booth presence and Hosted Meetings serve different parts of the same sales effort: a stand supports demonstration and visibility, while the meeting package supplies targeted buyer conversations. T3 handles booth freight and material handling; the advance warehouse is the recommended route for build materials. Sponsored meeting rooms have separate guidance to use the Venetian's FedEx service for smaller items.
