Fintech Meetup prides itself on its exceptional meetings program, with a remarkable track record of scheduling meetings between attendees.

For the upcoming Fintech Meetup 2024 event, they are aiming to schedule over 50,000 meetings with 1,500 tables available for discussions. In addition to the meetings program, Fintech Meetup 2024 will feature a diverse agenda with 175+ speakers covering multiple tracks. The event will also introduce table talks, which are peer-group moderated discussions, allowing attendees to connect and share insights. Furthermore, Fintech Meetup plans to disrupt the event space by encouraging co-located events, giving the community the opportunity to host their own events in conjunction with Fintech Meetup, creating an inclusive and vibrant ecosystem.
Transitioning Sponsors and Attendees to Fintech Meetup
Fintech Nexus is dedicated to ensuring a smooth and positive transition for its sponsors and attendees. Notable efforts have been made to retain the relationships with sponsors, providing them with the option to transfer their commitments to the Fintech Meetup 2024 event. Special considerations have been made for specific communities, such as the Latin American sponsors and exhibitors who now have a designated space at Fintech Meetup. Fintech Nexus has also seamlessly integrated several team members, who were key points of contact for sponsors and attendees, into the Fintech Meetup team. This cohesive approach demonstrates the commitment to maintaining strong client relationships and delivering continued value.
The Focus on Digital Media and the Future of Fintech Nexus
The partnership with Fintech Meetup allows Fintech Nexus to fully embrace its digital media focus. By shifting away from large-scale events, Fintech Nexus can now concentrate on its digital offerings, including news, analysis, and community engagement. With a robust news site and a strategic partnership with FintechLuprant for analysis, Fintech Nexus is well-positioned to serve its audience year-round. The organization will leverage its substantial community of 200,000 industry leaders, creating tailored products and services to meet the varying needs within the community.
