Fintech industry professionals looking for networking opportunities in Las Vegas will see a new format in 2027 with the debut of MoneyCon. Presented by Nerd Events Media, the three-day gathering will occupy Restaurant Row at The Venetian from October 19 to October 21, 2027.
Why it matters
Organizers are launching the event to provide a cost-free industry gathering space that does not require the traditional registration fees or badges found at typical conventions. The move aims to fill a void in the industry landscape as traditional gathering spots for fintech professionals shift.
The inaugural MoneyCon is scheduled to span 3 days of content for fintech professionals. While the event is free to attend, the specific volume of expected participants remains unknown.

Beyond the Strip
MoneyCon follows the organizational model established by Fintech NerdCon in San Diego. This new entry represents an attempt by the same leadership team to replicate their industry-focused networking format within the Las Vegas resort corridor.
Because the event utilizes the existing public spaces of The Venetian, attendees should anticipate a more mobile networking experience rather than a traditional stationary conference floor.
