Why attend

Built for the people
responsible for what happens next.

FinTech Connect is designed for banks and financial institutions first. Where the organisations setting strategy, controlling budgets, and delivering transformation come to solve real challenges.

A buyer environment. Not a passive audience.

This is not a broad fintech crowd. It is a high concentration of decision-makers from banks, financial institutions, and corporate finance teams, supported by the partners they work with to deliver change.

  • Banks and financial institutions leading transformation programmes
  • Corporate finance and treasury teams driving financial strategy
  • Fintechs and scaleups building new capabilities
  • Technology providers enabling infrastructure, AI, and data
  • Regulators and policymakers shaping the landscape
  • Investors backing the next wave of innovation

What usually takes months of outreach and meetings happens in two days.

I normally speak about AI and governance at risk and model management events, so it was great to see such a collaborative and engaged audience at FinTech Connect.
