FinTech Connect 2023 consists of two independent international events. FinTech Europe, a London-based event and FinTech Connect North America, based in New York. With attendees from challenger banks, innovative merchants, central banks, tier 1 financial institutions and cutting-edge technology players, and more free content on the show floors than ever before, both FinTech Connect events will deliver unrivaled business intelligence insights and coveted networking opportunities.

FinTech Connect Europe 2023 will take place between 6 and 7 December at the ExCel Center in the heart of London’s docklands. This year’s event is expected to welcome more than 3,000 attendees, C-suite leaders in the global fintech industry and startup innovators transforming the global payments landscape.

FinTech Connect North America 2023 is the first in-person iteration of the event, having launched a virtual event two years ago. Taking place on June 27, 2023 at Convene Quorum, New York, FinTech Connect North America will discover how financial institutions, merchants and fintechs across the continent are leveraging technology to stay ahead of the industry.

Laurence Coldicott, Senior Content Director for Fintech Connect 2023, says: “Now that in-person events are back, we’re building on the huge success of last year’s event to ensure FinTech Connect 2023 maintains its position as the industry’s must-attend event in both Europe and North America.

“The economic turbulence of the past year has dramatically affected fintech investment, improved business models and disrupted the pace of innovation in payments technology and digital transformation. We have seen rapid and controversial developments in blockchain and regulation over the past 12 months. There is much to discuss among the significant events currently impacting the industry, and FinTech Connect 2023 promises even more phenomenally impactful insights and showcases for transformational solutions.

“With even more interactive sessions and lively debates for attendees to enjoy, this year’s event offers a must-have vantage point of where the global fintech industry is right now – and where it’s headed. Speakers and sponsors won’t want to miss the opportunity to set the agenda and bring their talking points to the table.”
