From 1–3 October 2025, the Amsterdam Fintech Event (AFE25) will take over the Amsterdam WTC, uniting innovators, investors, entrepreneurs, and financial professionals from around the world. Jointly organised by the Holland Fintech Association and Cognito Amsterdam, AFE25 is more than just another conference. It’s a three-day festival of ideas and connections, designed around informal conversations, fresh insights, and real opportunities to collaborate.

A program that looks ahead
This year’s edition explores the forces transforming financial services today. Expect keynote sessions, lively debates, and hands-on workshops around four core themes:
- AI in Fintech – From automation to autonomy
- The Future of Payments – Fast, smart, seamless
- Tokenization & Digital Assets – Building blocks of the new financial system
- Embedded Finance & Platform Payments – Finance as a feature
Highlights include VISA’s “What the F*ntech!” session on unpacking stablecoins and its’ role in reshaping the financial infrastructure.. The program concludes on Friday at The Next Web (TNW) with a community celebration on the TNW terrace – a chance to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate innovation together. (Access to the closing celebration is free with registration.)
Last year’s AFE edition drew international leaders such as Mastercard, Visa, and Akkuro. Pierre Castronovo, Fintech Lead at VISA, praised it as: “A fantastic platform with relevant and key players. It truly exceeded my expectations.”
Bryan Verhage, Cognito’s Event Lead, Amsterdam Fintech Event: “AFE is where innovation, insights, and connections converge. We’re proud to offer the fintech community a platform to learn, grow, and shape the future of financial technology together. Join us!”
