Past Events
May 20, 2024
Orlando
Aligned with the FIS client conference Emerald, this was an opportunity for Fintechs attending to gather and socialise with like-minded innovators. Unlike other Hangouts this was later in the evening and a chance to chill out and share experiences of the day.

New York
Our 3rd networking event in New York since we launched the Fintech Hangout series of events saw strong registrations and our largest turnout so far. With the NY Fintech Week in the Big Apple in the same week, we were thrilled to be part of the whole ecosystem that is driving the fintech agenda and momentum.
During the networking, there were many conversations around the insights of the speakers and panelists who brought a diverse perspective to the payments discussions. Our panelists included a fintech, FIS’ money movement product leader and an ex-Andreessen Horowitz startup advisor.
