Yet, with many of the borders open, the organizers keep hoping that fall and winter events can happen in the unparalleled get-together atmosphere (of course, with the proper safety measures). We have gathered the hottest fintech events that are due to happen in fall & winter 2020.

Whether you attend the Hong Kong FinTech Week in person or join virtually, you will be able to meet the leaders of China’s internet finance who are revolutionizing the industry. The region’s only cross-boundary fintech trade show will take place both at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong and in Shenzhen. The Fintech Week will be divided into two elements: the physical part of the event, including main conference, tours, and networking which attendees can physically attend at a specific location and the virtual event that attendees can access at a designated online website/platform/application.
Be among the first to explore the new super apps and online banks, digital yuan initiatives and the new generation of tech-driven insurers. Top speakers include founders and top executives of both Asia’s and the world’s fastest-growing FinTech companies and unicorns, virtual banks and digital-only insurers, payments, and lending innovators.
The attendees will explore case studies with the latest applications of AI and machine learning, big data, blockchain / distributed ledgers, open banking, and APIs in finance. They can also visit the Experience Lab, a public showcase of revolutionary B2C FinTech products and services in the digital finance market. Besides, if you are interested in scaling your FinTech business in Hong Kong and Asia, you can apply for the FinTech B2B Matchmaking program, submit your solution and meet one-on-one with executives of the leading financial institutions in Hong Kong.
If you are interested, book your ticket early. The pricing depends on the booking date, so early birds have the chance to get $40 off the regular price.

Originally planned to happen in summer, this highly-expected annual event has been postponed until the end of September. The global reunion with Europe’s leading financial institutions, the biggest industry players, and rising superstars from the fintech sector is going to be exciting.

During these three busy days, prominent speakers from Monzo, Spotify, Starling Bank, Netflix, Airbnb, and other game-changers will present 40+ hours of valuable content. The main focus of this year’s intensive agenda is on winning strategies, opportunities, sustainability and profitability, operational excellence, scalability, regulation deployment, trust and identity in business, and weathering macroeconomic storms.
