Fintoberfest is a celebration of fintech, community, and connection. The finale of Atlanta Fintech Week. Part festival, part networking event — an evening of insight, laughter, and stein-raising for the founders, students, executives, investors, and enthusiasts who built this ecosystem. Not a conference. Not a cocktail hour. A festival of ideas and people. What's in the room What's in the room 🍺 Oktoberfest games, activations, and a few surprises — discoverable all night, no sign-up sheet 🍺 Lightning talks worth staying for 🍺 Curated networking that doesn't feel like networking 🍺 The Stein Raise, 8:00 PM — the whole room, one toast, one photo Last year, 100 people showed up for Atlanta's first fintech festival. This year we're closing the week — and the room is capped at 150. Requests are reviewed.

Wrap up Atlanta Fintech Week with some fresh air, light movement, and good conversation at Beltline/Piedmont Park. The Fintech Walking Club is exactly what it sounds like: an informal walk with Fintech friends. No agenda, no panels, no pitches. Just a chance to get outside, get a little exercise and oxygen, and connect with people across the Atlanta Fintech community before we close out the week. Come as you are. Comfortable shoes encouraged. We will share the exact starting point as we get closer to the event. Walk. Talk. Fintech.

Close out Atlanta Fintech Week with a fast-moving conversation about the forces transforming how money moves—and what they mean for financial institutions, fintech companies, merchants, and consumers. We’ll explore five major shifts: AI and agentic commerce — Jordan Reynolds, Checkout.com: What happens when AI begins searching, deciding, and transacting on behalf of customers? Stablecoins and tokenized money — Jonathan King, Coinbase: Where are these technologies moving from experimentation to practical adoption? Cross-border payments and local payment rails — Francheska Flores, Thunes: How are new platforms and local rails making international transactions faster, simpler, and more accessible? Digital identity, fraud, and trust — Ravi Bijlani, KYXStart: How do we establish trust as transactions become faster, more automated, and increasingly invisible? The changing economics of payments — Callum Godwin, CMSPI: How are evolving costs, regulation, competition, and payment methods reshaping the industry? Each expert will offer a brief perspective on one of these forces before we open the conversation among the group and with the audience. Join us for coffee, practical insights, and one final opportunity to connect during Atlanta Fintech Week.
