May 5-7, 2026
Sheraton San Diego Hotel and MarinaSan Diego, CAThe most executive audience in fintech
2 in 3 of our attendees are C-level/heads/directors/VPs. The decision-makers who can take action.
Connect with senior bankers, investors and fintech leaders
Finovate is the only major fintech event that unlocks access to an truly executive-level audience. We bring together the innovators leading the fintech revolution, senior decision-makers from banks and other financial institutions and top investors from VC firms looking for their next opportunity.
Over half of the attendees are from banks and investors. Most other fintech events have less than a quarter of their audience from this key group.
All the top 10 US banks are confirmed for FinovateSpring 2026.
Quality. Not just quantity.
Finovate audiences are unlike those at a lot of fintech events where the apparently high attendee numbers are padded by junior staff and others with limited influence on the direction of their business.
Those high numbers may look impressive, but they're not the people that can make decisions and deals.
FinovateSpring's audience has 2 in 3 attendees being C-level/ heads/ directors/ VPs who can help you achieve your goals.
Your time is precious. Don't waste it.
Don’t waste your time working out who the right people are for you to meet.
Come to FinovateSpring to talk face-to-face with the senior-level decision-makers who can actually move the needle for you and your company.
Use our dedicated app to help find the people that matter to you, set up meetings ahead of the event, and arrive with an action plan to make the most of your valuable time.
