San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

Fintech NerdCon 2026

No forced meetings. No sales booths. Just the highest density of fintech operators and builders you’ll find all year.

The Fintech Event for Operators

Most fintech conferences are built around the expo hall. NerdCon is built around the conversations. Where founders, operators, builders, and senior leaders come to talk about what's working, what's not, make meaningful connections, and get better at their craft.

Created by Simon Taylor and the team behind Fintech Brainfood, NerdCon brings together 1,500 carefully curated fintech operators building the infrastructure, trust layers, payment rails, AI systems, and products shaping the future of financial services.

No giant expo hall. No badge scanning. Just the highest-signal conversations in fintech on and off stage. The most fun you'll have at a business event.

Three days, two stages, five zones, and a city's worth of side quests. Here's how it all fits together: main stage hours, the activation hall, and the off-site experiences you'll want to lock in early.
