​THE OFFICIAL SAN FRANCISCO FINTECH WEEK CONFERENCE

​September 29–October 1, 2026

​The team behind FTW: NYC is heading west.

​Fintech Is Femme, Fiat Growth, AScaleX, and Identity Strategies are bringing the three-day FTW conference to San Francisco — convening the executives, founders, operators, and investors shaping what comes next in finance.

​And the room is already taking shape.

​Meet the Leaders Shaping What Comes Next

​Confirmed speakers include:

​Janelle Sallenave — COO, Chime
Racquel Oden — U.S. Head of International Wealth & Global Private Banking, HSBC
Zeynep Inanoglu Ozdemir — CMO, Legora
Laurel Taylor — Founder & CEO, Candidly
Rodney Robinson — Co-Founder & CEO, TabaPay

​Alongside senior leaders from Stripe, Visa, Green Dot, Rho and more.

​Across three days dedicated to Fintech, Leadership and Security, FTW brings major financial institutions into the same rooms as fintech founders, AI-native companies, investors and the infrastructure leaders building the next era of financial services.

​Finance learning from technology. Technology learning from finance. And everyone getting a little smarter together.

​This Is Where AI Meets Financial Reality

​We’re past the hype cycle.

​The questions now are practical:

​What works?
What scales?
What changes the customer experience?
What happens when AI moves from assisting people to actually operating financial systems?

​AI is already reshaping fintech at its core:

​Payments. Fraud. Lending. Wealth. Banking. Infrastructure. Identity. Security.

​Agentic systems.
Intelligent infrastructure.
AI that doesn’t just assist — but acts.

​FTW: San Francisco is where the people building those systems come together with the institutions deploying them.

​Not the Biggest Room. The Right Room.

​We built FTW to feel different from the traditional conference circuit.

​More intimate.
More substantive.
More connected.

​Instead of thousands of people passing through a convention center, we’re convening 500+ leaders across three days in a high-touch environment designed for real conversation, meaningful introductions and partnerships that continue long after the event ends.

​Where the future of finance shows up in real time.
Where conversations turn into partnerships.
Where the next chapter gets built.

​If you want to understand where fintech is going — not in theory, but in practice —

​be in the room.

​See you in San Francisco.
