Why Do You Forget Everything After a Fintech Conference? You won't at Fintech Meetup
You ever leave a conference totally inspired, only to forget everything a few days later? Too much of what gets said on stage is theoretical. It's heavy on vision and light on the playbook. In this episode, Roland sits down with Jade Mitchell, who leads content at FinTech Meetup, one of the first major fintech shows of the year. Jade walks through how she builds an agenda with the industry, not just for it. She explains why trust became the theme for the upcoming show and how FinTech Meetup's double opt-in meetings program brokers around 50,000 meetings in three days. We also get into Fintech in 5, a new open mic format that gives anyone five minutes on stage. Jade covers what it takes to win one of two $50,000 SAFE notes in the startup pitch competition. She also shares how the Signal Week acquisition brings a larger digital assets summit to the show. Plus, we talk about The Network, FinTech Meetup's 15-part comedy series about the pitfalls of corporate office life. It's a great example of a brand willing to use humor to stand out. The series was produced by Failure Island , directed by Dorea Slagle , and written by Lucinda Sweazey . New episodes drop every Thursday at 9 a.m. ET on LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram. If you're planning your team's conference calendar or you're a startup looking to get in front of bankers, this one's for you. Oh, and if you're wondering about that intro track, it's "Meeting of the Minds" by Matt Large . Go show him some love.
