Women are responsible for some of the most innovative products and
successful teams in fintech. The Women’s Wealth Forum is a space where
female founders and executives are honored and can offer mentorship to the
next generation of fintech innovators.

The Women’s Wealth Forum is a place where women can learn to be more
financially empowered in their own lives as well as boost their careers.
Speakers will discuss financial inclusion for women, stories of female
founders, and how women have grown some of the most successful companies in
finance.

As a forum, we want to foster discussions surrounding the challenges and
successes women face in the fintech space to that end, we’ll have a series
of panels as well as roundtable discussions. These will be breakout
sessions that attendees will rotate through several times throughout the
day, offering networking and the opportunity to learn directly from leaders
in the space at the same table.
