From Middle to Momentum: Navigating the Fintech Career Curve

​Adyen and The Chicago NYC Fintech Women invite you to start 2026 with a focused conversation designed specifically for mid-career fintech professionals assessing how—and where—to advance their career development.

​This event features a moderated panel by journalist Sandra Guy of the Chicago Sun-Times alongside Chicago fintech leaders. The discussion will cover how to approach critical mid-career decisions and grow your network, while also diving into Chicago’s fintech scene—its growth pockets, the companies doubling down on the city, and where mid-career operators can make an impact.

​After the panel, stay for an open networking reception with speakers, peers, and select members of the media. Connect with other fintech operators who are serious about growth, collaboration, and strengthening the ecosystem.

Who Should Attend

​Fintech professionals with ~5+ years of experience who are looking to expand their influence, elevate their careers, and connect with a community of peers driving meaningful change across the industry.

Members of the media will be invited and are also welcome to attend.
