Singapore FinTech Festival 2026

Who should cross for this

Financial institutions, fintech founders, investors, regulators, policymakers, technology providers, academics, and professional-services firms.

The festival convenes finance, technology, and policy participants in a major Asian financial hub, creating a concentrated meeting window for transpacific operators and investors.

Suggested trip length: 4 nights for the programme and related meetings

Choosing sessions and themes

The 2026 programme is expected to engage with artificial intelligence, digital assets, payments, cybersecurity, sustainable finance, and financial inclusion. A final agenda will determine which sessions and speakers are confirmed. Select one or two themes, note the halls for essential meetings, and leave room for announcements during the week.

The 2025 tenth-anniversary edition drew more than 70,000 participants from 142 countries and regions, according to the organizers. That historical figure suggests substantial walking distances and competing sessions, but it is not a 2026 attendance forecast.

Pick a base for your priorities

Staying near Expo or Changi gives the simplest start and is especially practical for a short regional visit. The Downtown Line connects Expo directly with Bugis, Bayfront, Downtown, and Chinatown, allowing delegates to trade a longer ride for central dining and evening meetings.

All ten venue halls are described as wheelchair accessible, with accessible toilets and parking. Contact the event team for captioning, seating, interpretation, or other programme-specific support.

Prepare for a professional festival

This is a professional, badge-based gathering with a broad programme. Badge prices, qualifications, taxes, and inclusions can vary, and side events may have separate registration. November is hot and often rainy; the covered station connection is useful, while a light layer helps in strongly air-conditioned halls. Check the floor plan and meeting locations before each day.
