Introduction
As the fintech ecosystem continues to grow and move faster than ever, staying up to date with the industry has become increasingly challenging. New technologies, regulations and business models emerge constantly, making it hard to keep track of what's really shaping financial services.
So, where are the most important fintech conversations happening in 2026? Which fintech conferences bring together the leaders, startups and technologies defining the future of financial services?
One of the easiest ways to stay informed is by following where conversations happen. Fintech events are where trends take form, products are launched, and the people building and scaling financial platforms connect.
But with hundreds of events worldwide, a key question arises: which fintech conferences are actually worth attending in 2026? In this guide we highlight the top fintech events of 2026, selected for their impact and focus across areas like payments, digital banking, wealth management, embedded finance and AI in financial services.
At Vangwe, our close work with fintech teams gives us a clear view of where the industry is headed, and which events truly matter. We've marked the events we'll be attending, so let us know if you'll be there too!

Fintech Conferences we attended in 2025
This list brings together some of what we consider to be the most influential fintech conferences shaping the industry in 2026, but it's by no means exhaustive. The fintech ecosystem moves fast, and many valuable niche and regional events also take place throughout the year.
Keep in mind platforms like Luma, Meetup, Eventbrite or Partiful, for example, which are a great way to discover smaller, high-impact meetups and emerging conversations that don't always make it onto global conference calendars.
We're genuinely excited about the opportunity to attend many of these events and see firsthand what's next for fintech in 2026, from new technologies and regulations to evolving business models and real-world use cases.
If we missed an event you think should be on this list, feel free to let us know! We're always happy to update it and keep the conversation going.
