Fintech Meetup 2027: Where AI, Payments and the Future of Financial Services Meet in Las Vegas

Fintech Meetup 2027 will bring fintech leaders, banks, credit unions, investors, startups, and technology providers to Las Vegas from February 22–24, with AI, payments, banking, digital assets, fraud, and regulation among the key themes shaping the three-day event.

The event will return to The Venetian in Las Vegas, positioning its meeting program at the center of an agenda focused on one increasingly important question for financial services: who can be trusted to build, operate, and scale the next generation of financial infrastructure?

That question is reflected in the official 2027 theme: “Built on Trust.”

Fintech Meetup says the theme reflects a market in which artificial intelligence is accelerating innovation while fraud becomes more sophisticated and areas such as digital assets, identity, and compliance continue to evolve. The event aims to connect companies with partners that can help them move from experimentation toward measurable commercial outcomes.

The event is expected to facilitate more than 50,000 one-to-one meetings, with more than 1,000 CEOs and founders and 700 financial institutions represented across the ecosystem, according to Fintech Meetup. The organizer also reports a 92% meeting satisfaction rate.

For fintech companies, financial institutions, and investors, that makes Fintech Meetup 2027 less about traditional conference networking and more about structured dealmaking, partnerships, and technology discovery.

Fintech Meetup 2027 Returns to Las Vegas

Fintech Meetup 2027 will take place from February 22 to February 24, 2027, at The Venetian in Las Vegas.

The three-day program is designed around multiple areas of financial services, including banking, payments, lending, and emerging fintech innovation. The agenda also includes the Main Stage and The Pulse, which focuses on startups and emerging ideas.

The event’s format combines content sessions with an extensive meeting program.

Attendees can use the event’s technology to receive personalized meeting recommendations based on their business objectives, interests, and priorities. Meetings are double opt-in, meaning both participants need to agree to the connection.

The model is designed to reduce the traditional problem of large industry conferences: thousands of attendees but limited access to the people who can actually make purchasing, investment, or partnership decisions.

Instead, Fintech Meetup puts structured business meetings at the center of the event.

“Built on Trust” Becomes the 2027 Theme

The 2027 theme is particularly relevant to the current fintech market.

Built on Trust reflects the idea that technology alone is no longer enough to determine which financial-services companies succeed.

Artificial intelligence can accelerate product development and automate workflows. Real-time payments can make money move faster. Stablecoins and tokenization can create new financial market infrastructure.

But each development introduces another set of questions around security, regulation, identity, data, compliance, and reliability.

Fintech Meetup says trust is becoming a competitive advantage as AI reshapes financial services and fraud becomes more sophisticated.

That gives the event a broader editorial relevance than a conventional fintech networking conference.

The central discussion is not simply what new technology can do.

It is whether financial institutions can trust it enough to deploy at scale.

AI Moves From Experimentation Toward Execution

Artificial intelligence will be one of the major themes at Fintech Meetup 2027.

The organizer’s agenda includes discussions around AI leadership, organizational change, and the challenge of moving financial institutions beyond isolated experiments.

One session on the first day is titled “Escaping pilot purgatory: turning innovation into execution.”

The session addresses a problem facing many banks: institutions have spent years experimenting with AI, but relatively few initiatives have progressed from individual pilots into broad operational deployments.

That shift from experimentation to execution is becoming one of the most important questions in financial AI.

Banks need to determine where AI creates measurable value while managing risks around data, governance, customer outcomes, and compliance.

Fintech Meetup’s approach places that challenge within the broader ecosystem, bringing banks together with fintech companies, technology providers, and other potential partners.

Payments Prepare for a 24/7 Economy

Payments will have another prominent role in the 2027 program.

The agenda includes a session titled “Preparing for a 24/7 payments economy.” It focuses on the operational challenges created by real-time payments, including liquidity pressures, continuous operations, and the infrastructure needed to support faster money movement safely.
