FinTech West Conference 2026

📣 The FinTech West Annual Conference returns this November, following last year’s biggest and best conference ever where over 250 attendees joined us for the day.

We're thrilled to announce that Janine Hirt, CEO of Innovate Finance, will be a keynote speaker at the conference. Janine leads the UK's industry body for financial innovation and brings national perspective, sharp insight, and a clear view of where the sector is heading.

The agenda is still being shaped, but you can expect insightful conversations across AI, smart data, cyber security, funding, and the future of financial services. There'll be keynotes, panels, fireside conversations, a FinTech pitch showcase, and plenty of time to connect with the people in the room.

The conference will once again bring together a uniquely broad mix of startups, scaleups, large institutions, universities, policymakers, professional services firms and the wider tech ecosystem, reflecting FinTech West’s collaborative community approach.

A huge thank you to S&W, returning as Primary Sponsor for another year, and a very warm welcome to PEXA as our newest sponsor. Both organisations are deeply embedded in the financial services ecosystem.

We have a small number of Conference Sponsor packages remaining. Sponsorship includes speaker or panel options, pre- and post-event promotion, and branding on the day. If you're interested, contact us at info@fintechwest.co.uk

More speakers and agenda details to follow over the coming months. In the meantime — save the date, register, and share with anyone who should be in the room. We'll see you on the 6th November!
