Across three cornerstone events — The Fintech Summit by Fiat Growth, The Fintech Is Femme Leadership Summit, and The Fintech Security Summit — FTW convenes the founders, operators, investors, and global brands actively shaping the next generation of financial services.
This is where the industry gathers in the heart of Manhattan to set the agenda for the year ahead — uniting sharp strategy, trusted voices, and high-intent relationships in one iconic place.
