​THE OFFICIAL NEW YORK FINTECH WEEK CONFERENCE.

​It started with one clear conviction: fintech leadership needed a true home.

​In 2024, Fintech Is Femme launched its first Leadership Summit, creating a space where women leaders and decision-makers could gather, connect, and set a new standard for the industry.

​In 2025, the vision expanded. Fintech Is Femme introduced both the Leadership Summit and the Fintech Security Summit, hosting them at The Times Center — inside the New York Times Building — signaling that these conversations now belonged at the center of business, media, and power.

​It's 2026, and the industry is ready for more.

​Now, Fintech Is Femme presents FTW: NYC — the official New York Fintech Week conference — bringing three summits under one roof at The Penn District by Skylight, a modern, iconic venue purpose-built for high-impact gatherings.

​Across three cornerstone events — The Fintech Summit by Fiat Growth, The Fintech Is Femme Leadership Summit, and The Fintech Security Summit — FTW convenes founders, operators, investors, and global brands who are actively building the future of financial services. Not talking about it. Doing it.

​This is where the industry gathers in the heart of Manhattan to set the agenda for the year ahead — powered by trusted voices, sharp strategy, and high-intent relationships.

​FTW is about showing up to build an economy where everyone wins.

​In collaboration with Empire Startups, This Week in Fintech, RevTech Labs, and Fintech Sandbox, Fintech Is Femme continues the legacy of New York Fintech Week — establishing FTW as its next chapter as New York continues its reign as fintech capital of the world.
