FinClub Launch
Fintech has been missing a central London home. FinClub changes that.
On Tuesday 21 October, join us at Old Sessions House in Clerkenwell - a Grade II listed members club - for the official launch of FinClub and the finale of the Fintech Fringe Festival 2025.
FinClub offers a premium base for the fintech ecosystem: drop-in co-working, a place to meet clients for coffee, lunch, or drinks, all in a beautifully curated space.
Featuring The Great Debate
The evening debuts the first-ever Great Debate, a new format where fintech’s sharpest minds go head-to-head on the industry’s most divisive issues.
Two teams, three debaters each
No dress rehearsal
Brutal truths, bold claims, unfiltered arguments
Hosted by Ian Horne, with the audience voting to crown the winner
After the debate, the festival finale party kicks off with live performances across the venue.
Who It’s For
The FinClub launch night is where the fintech ecosystem comes together. If you're looking for sharp debate, big ideas, and meaningful connections - this is where it's at.
It’s also for those curious about something new: a premium central London base where you can drop in to work, host clients, and connect with the community outside of the usual office grind.
If that sounds like the space you’ve been missing, this is your chance to see it in action - and to celebrate the closing night of Fintech Fringe Festival 2025.
