The Big Leap: NY Fintech Week Edition
The Big Leap: The Age of Relevance
Fintech spent the last decade winning on product.
The problem? So did everyone else.
Today, your customer has five apps — and no real reason to choose you when it matters.
They don’t switch. They just drift.
Brand loyalty is fading. Relationships are transactional.
And fintech is stepping into its next real challenge: not acquisition — relevance.
This is exactly why we’re hosting The Big Leap at FTW:NYC.
Taking place during the Fintech Is Femme Leadership Summit, this is a conversation I’ve been wanting to bring into the room — specifically for the CMOs and marketing leaders responsible for how fintech actually shows up in people’s lives.
We’re hosting this on our private VIP terrace, inside the CleverTap CMO Lounge — intentionally designed as a more intimate, high-signal space to step out of the noise and into what’s actually working.
Because the playbook is changing — fast.
We’ll get into: • How the rules of growth have fundamentally changed • What Agentic AI unlocks at the moment level • What it takes to win at the exact moment your customer decides
No fluff. No product demos. Just real operators, real perspectives — and the kind of conversations that usually happen off-stage.
What to expect:
Keynote perspectives. An Exclusive Setting.
A live podcast of CMO Uncovered hosted by Drew Glover.
And private networking with CMOs and senior leaders across the NYFTW cosystem.
Because in this next era of fintech, the winners won’t just acquire customers — they’ll matter to them.
In partnership with CleverTap Title Sponsor, FTW:NYC 2026
