At Fintech Meetup 2026, Doug Mackenzie, Head of Content at FinTech Meetup Europe explains why the conference is unique and how it generates positive results, setting the scene for the energetic atmosphere of their Las Vegas gathering. He explains that while fintech world doesn’t need another conference, however FinTech Meetup is designed as an actual meeting platform focused entirely on facilitating productive one-to-one discussions.
Mackenzie highlights the core benefit of the conference: none of the meetings are cold and attendees are able to immediately see who they will be speaking with, and start building a sales pipeline before attendees arrive on site. This commitment to efficiency yields powerful results, with the Fintech Meetup model consistently achieving approximately 50,000 completed meetings and boasting an impressive 96% completion rate.
The exciting news that Mackenzie shares is that this successful, efficient Fintech Meetup model is expanding to Europe; and Mackenzie believes that this format will be essential for success.
Fintech Meetup Europe will take place in Lisbon from October 6th – 8th and will be offering organisations a streamlined way to engage with the right contacts, making it a gathering for European businesses looking to accelerate their growth and market penetration across the continent.
