Meetings Programme
A more intentional way for Europe’s fintech leaders to meet.
At the core of Fintech Meetup Europe is a Meetings Programme built around pre-scheduled, double opt-in conversations - removing guesswork and ensuring time onsite is spent with the right people.
Taking place in Lisbon in 2026, the programme will facilitate more than 25,000 confirmed, in-person meetings across fintech, banking, payments and investment. The result is a structured environment where senior decision-makers can replace months of outreach with focused conversations that move initiatives forward.
A meetings-led experience designed to make time count - before, during and after the event.

Why Our Meetings Programme is So Valuable to Europe
Fintech Meetup Europe’s Meetings Programme is a tech-enabled, double opt-in system that facilitates tens of thousands of curated one-to-one meetings between attendees.
Participants create a profile, browse the attendee list, request meetings, and approve requests from others, all within the platform. By event week, your calendar is pre-populated with confirmed meetings, with no cold outreach or back-and-forth required.
Over three days, the programme runs across four dedicated 90-minute Meetup sessions, each containing six 15-minute meeting slots, giving every attendee up to 24 opportunities to connect and build momentum.
Unlike traditional event networking, the Fintech Meetup Europe Meetings Programme is algorithm-driven, double opt-in, and available to every attendee.
Meetings only take place where interest is mutual, ensuring relevance at scale. This approach eliminates randomness and delivers consistently high participation and satisfaction.
At Fintech Meetup USA, this model has powered 50,000+ meetings with an industry-low 4% no-show rate and 90%+ satisfaction. That same proven approach is now coming to Europe.
Before the event, you browse attendee profiles, request meetings, and review incoming requests.
Once both parties opt in, the platform automatically schedules the meeting, no manual coordination, no admin burden. Your confirmed schedule is ready before you arrive onsite.
Meet senior decision-makers from across the fintech ecosystem, including:
-
Banks and financial institutions
-
Fintechs, payments companies, and startups
-
Retailers and merchants
-
Investors
-
Regulators, associations, and industry bodies
Attendees include 650+ Hosted Buyers and 600+ CEOs and founders, the people who make things happen.
Most participants complete 10–15 meetings over the three days, with many achieving more depending on engagement and participation level.
Meetings take place onsite during dedicated Meetup sessions, creating a focused environment filled with thousands of concurrent, pre-scheduled conversations.
