Thank you Nerds!
No summary really captures Fintech Nerdcon. You had to be there for the vibe, the operators, and that rare feeling of being surrounded by people who actually want to think, talk, and nerd out.
I still can’t believe 1,100 of you showed up. The content landed. Rooms were packed. And you proved the thesis. A show built around high-quality fintech conversations and real networking has product-market fit.
🎦 Highlights, podcasts and session videos are available here. There are some absolute bangers in there. Plenty to binge over the holidays.
This is my “omg, its real, now I better present this well” face
There were hiccups. Every first-year show has them. But the energy, the vibe, the feedback were all unreal. We even had an 8-foot-tall Halo Spartan helmet, and good coffee.
You loved the curated audience. You loved the sessions. You loved the side events. We kept saying this show is different. It actually is. So yes. We will be back for 2026.
Cristina from Nubank. Kaz from Opendoor. The operators on the panels. They all brought a depth you do not get at the big tent conferences. That is the Nerdcon promise.
And that depth attracts a certain kind of person. The ones who get things done. One founder told me they had been on the road for six weeks, and this was by far the highest signal event. Many of the founders I spoke with not only want to come back next year, but they also want to sponsor, so the show thrives. Rare kind of PMF.
Others came at me with ideas for making it even better. Whiteboard zones. More outdoor space. Better sound. We heard you. We will iterate.
I am overwhelmed with the positivity. Fintech is a community. Now it has a home. That home is Nerdcon. And you are invited.
To everyone who sponsored, spoke, helped put the show together, jumped in at the last minute to moderate, networked, or got involved in the roundtables and workshops.
Thank you.
The future of events is here. And it is Nerdy as hell.
