Please include a proposed title, synopsis, and ideal format for the session (panel, masterclass, fireside, gameshow, debate, etc.).

If submitting a single speaker, be sure to include topics in which they are an expert, and if available, links to recordings from previous engagements.

If submitting a well-rounded session with multiple speakers (recommended), include all proposed speaker names, titles, and companies. Please only suggest speakers with whom you have an existing relationship. They do not need to be an existing client.

We’re not strictly pay-to-play. However, it is important to note that we receive over 1k applications for a limited number of speaking opportunities.

We do not recommend that candidates that fall outside of our typical archetypes of FinTech founders, leading venture capitalists, and banking leaders apply. If practical, please consider sponsorship in order to unlock opportunities on stage.

Fireside chats (2 participants | 25 minutes)

Panels (5 participants incl moderator | 40 minutes)

Debates (7 participants incl moderator | 40 minutes)

Masterclasses (1-2 presenters | 25 minutes)

Gameshows and other fun formats. Sky is the limit – we love receiving creative ideas.

Note, that you can not apply to demo on stage.

FinTech doesn’t wear a suit and tie. Proposals that push the envelope in terms of format, feature the most exciting FinTechs and venture leaders, and of course, exemplify our diversity standards always stand out.

Including how your firm or client would help promote a particular session or the conference is also helpful.

If this exact topic was recently featured on stage at another conference we do not recommend submitting again for the Empire stage.
