The VIP Hosted Meetings Programme at FTT Fintech Festival is a curated vendor discovery programme designed to help senior decision-makers cut through the noise and connect with the right technology and solution providers.

Qualified participants receive a complimentary VIP pass, curated 1:1 meetings and travel reimbursement.

It starts with a short conversation about your priorities, challenges and upcoming projects. From there, our team builds a tailored meeting schedule with relevant partners. Every meeting is double opt-in, so you only meet providers that match your needs and that you’re happy to speak with.

In return, you’ll take part in a minimum of six pre-scheduled, 15-minute meetings during the event.

No wasted time. Just focused conversations with partners who could support your goals.

It made a big difference that these were face-to-face conversations happening all in one venue, with relevant meetings already built into the schedule.
