​🥂 Event Overview

​Before the fintech frenzy begins, it's time to switch from deck mode to DJ mode.

​Forget the slides, panels, and "let's circle back." This is where the SFF crowd meets off the clock - no lanyards, no pitch decks, just good vibes and even better company.

​Welcome to Vibes & Tribes - a pre-SFF mixer for fintech founders, builders, and dreamers to relax, connect, and get the energy flowing before the week begins.

​Come as you are, bring your best energy, and meet your tribe - the ones who make fintech more fun (and maybe a little magical).
