Viva Las Vegas as Money20/20 week kicks off
Hey FinTech Fanatics!
By the time you read this, I’m probably somewhere between San Francisco and Las Vegas.
Because, just like that, Money20/20 week is here.
Roughly my tenth year. Still no idea how to pack for four days of meetings, dinners, networking, and the inevitable ‘let’s grab one more drink’.
Some things never change 😉
But this year, I’m heading to Vegas with something extra up my sleeve.
More on that in a minute.
First things first: are you going to be in Vegas?
If you are, Michel and I still have a few slots open to catch up.
And there’s something I’d particularly love to talk to you about.
We’ve been working on something new at Connecting The Dots in FinTech for 2027. It’s for a limited number of FinTech brands that want to stay visible throughout the entire year, not just during the four days when everyone happens to be in Vegas.
I’m not giving everything away just yet. Where’s the fun in that?
But if staying on the industry’s radar is on your agenda..
Can’t make it to Vegas? You can still be in the room
Money20/20 moves fast.
Blink, and you've missed three announcements, two new partnerships, and someone saying they're reinventing payments.
Again 🤣
If you’re not following my newsletter, well, now is the time.
My team and I will be on it: big news, interesting stories, conversations that go beyond your usual press releases.
Think of it as your front-row seat to Money20/20, minus the flights, the hotel bill, or the questionable sleep schedule.
Don’t want to miss any of the good stuff?
And yes, we’re actually doing the workout
Remember the Running on Syrup bootcamp with Maple?
That’s happening at 7.45 am on Monday. Yes, I agreed to this voluntarily.
Michel has been preparing all week. I’ve been in San Francisco, so I’ll just show up and hope walking between meetings counts as training. Want to join us? →
Prefer dinner over burpees? Maple and I are also getting a few finance and tech folks for a much more relaxed evening. Interested? →
And because apparently Monday needed one more plot twist, 50 Cent is performing at the Financial Technology Partners / FT Partners party.
From early morning squats to In Da Club.
My Monday makes no sense, but I’m here for it 🤣
Right, let’s do this
If you’re heading west, safe travels!
My advice?
Bring comfortable shoes, keep a charger close, and don’t book every minute of your day.
Some of the best conversations happen when you’re rushing between meetings, and somebody says, ‘Got five minutes?’ (Spoiler: it’s never five minutes.)
And if Michel and I are on your catch-up list, let’s make it happen before everyone’s calendar turns into a game of Tetris.
Book a conversation with Michel and me →
One last thing before the Money20/20 madness kicks off:
What’s the one thing you’re most looking forward to this year?
Let me know! I’d love to hear it.
See you in Vegas!
Cheers,
