DETAILS
Join us for a milestone event: The 10th Annual Fintech Conference returns to the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia on September 24 and 25, 2026, in partnership with the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, the University of Cambridge, and the Brookings Institution.
For a decade, this conference has united financial industry leaders for open dialogue on emerging issues and policy solutions. It’s a forum for connection, forward-looking conversations, and insights from regulators and experts you won't find anywhere else.
This Year's Agenda
As institutions leverage the GENIUS Act and prepare for the CLARITY Act, we'll explore:
- how new regulatory frameworks are reshaping digital asset strategies,
- real-world lessons from early blockchain integrations in traditional finance,
- the opportunities and challenges of tokenizing real-world assets, and
- what institutional adoption of digital assets truly looks like — beyond the hype.
What to Expect
We welcomed over 1,900 registrants last year, and this milestone event is expected to be even bigger. The conference is open to the press. Registration is free, but in-person seating is limited.
Who Should Attend?
Bankers, fintech leaders, regulators, academics, consumer advocates, and anyone interested in the future of finance.
