"Today we celebrate the successful return of Money20/20 Europe, the industry's leading fintech event and the first large international business conference to be held at the RAI, Amsterdam this year. With over 7,000 meetings held between attendees, Money20/20 Europe has proved once again to be the place where new partnerships are forged and fintech business deals are made.

We now head to Las Vegas for Money20/20 USA, knowing that we can safely and successfully run a large-scalein-person business event", said Money20/20 President Tracey Davies.

Money20/20 Rise Up Programme and Stage in partnership with Trustly

Money20/20 believes that women and people of colour should have a louder voice and more seats at the table in financial services. We work to amplify those voices and open doors through our platforms and programmes, collaborating with our community to empower real change and erode systemic bias. Inclusion and difference simply makes us stronger. In support of these values, 39% of Money20/20 Europe speakers were women and 11% were speakers of colour. In addition we curated the Money20/20 Rise Up Stage, dedicated to addressing these issues directly.
