The Fintech event for Operators

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.

word for it

Nerdcon was the most valuable fintech event of the past year for me. The highest density of serious founders, builders and operators I've seen, with none of the trade show noise.

The real draw of Fintech NerdCon is everyone who's there. Everyone you bump into has something to add, a high-value signal, a high-value conversation. This is critical in areas like agentic commerce which have so much promise but are still forming.
