Money20/20 USA 2025 Agenda: Where Innovation Meets Action in Finance

Money20/20, the world’s leading fintech show and the place where money does business, returns to Las Vegas on Oct 26-29 for Money20/20 USA bringing together the word’s leaders in banking, AI, payments, and global policymaking.

This year’s theme — Create the Future — marks a turning point in fintech. With digital assets, AI, and a wave of IPOs redefining ambition and identity, the lines between traditional finance, fintech, and digital banking are blurring. Against this backdrop, Money20/20 USA 2025 asks the central question: What will transform the industry over the next quarter?

The agenda is anchored around four narrative pillars—Fintech Spring, Age of Infrastructure, Global Payments Race, and Securing Trust—delivering content that is as insightful as it is actionable.

“Money20/20 USA 2025 is where groundbreaking deals materialize, transformative partnerships take root, and the future of finance is actively authored,” said Jessica Blue, Executive Vice President of Money20/20 USA. “This year’s program confronts the industry’s most challenging questions head-on—bringing together the visionaries with both the insight and authority to definitively answer them.”
