🚀 The 2026–2027 Business Funding Conference Map

The Best Fintech, Payments, Broker and Lending Events for Growing Companies

The right conference can compress months of networking, industry research, and relationship-building into a few highly productive days.

For founders, senior executives, brokers, funders, payment companies, CFOs, fintech providers, and other B2B service companies, industry events offer an efficient way to meet potential partners, understand where the market is heading, compare technology, and build relationships with the people shaping the future of business finance.

That is also why Funderial attends these events.

Funderial is a Direct Lender that works with payment processors, ISOs, commercial finance brokers, fintech platforms, financial consultants, affiliate partners, and other organizations serving small and midsize businesses.

For our in-house financing programs, we are the direct source of capital, allowing qualified partners to work more closely with the team responsible for reviewing, approving, and funding each opportunity.

We attend industry conferences to:

✅ Demonstrate our funding technology
✅ Introduce our financing programs
✅ Strengthen existing partner relationships
✅ Meet new brokers, processors, funders, and fintech companies
✅ Help B2B partners better serve their business clients

But with dozens of events competing for the same travel budget and calendar space, choosing the right conferences can be difficult.

To make that decision easier, we created a practical map of the leading fintech, payments, lending, broker, and business finance conferences taking place across North America during the 2026–2027 conference season.

Below, we rank the largest events by estimated attendance and highlight several of the strongest opportunities in New York, Miami, Chicago, and Canada.

🗺️ The Top 20 Events, Ranked by Estimated Attendance

Attendance figures are based on organizer announcements and industry estimates. Dates, venues, and attendance may change, so always confirm details directly with the event organizer before booking travel.

🌆 Chicago: Banking, Payments and Private Credit

MoneyLIVE North America

📅 September 14–15, 2026
📍 Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel, Chicago

MoneyLIVE North America brings together approximately 900 banking, fintech, and payments leaders from the United States and Canada.

The event tends to attract a senior audience, including founders, C-suite executives, vice presidents, product leaders, and financial institution decision-makers.

Its relatively compact format can make it easier to schedule meaningful conversations without committing to a full week of travel.

This may be particularly useful for companies focused on:

• Banking and fintech partnerships

• Embedded finance

• Payment technology

• Product development

• Financial infrastructure

• Strategic investment relationships

Companies interested in private debt and institutional capital may also want to consider the Annual CFO/COO Private Debt Chicago event on October 15, 2026.

🌴 Miami: Global Banking Meets Alternative Finance

Miami continues to grow as a major meeting point for banking, payments, fintech, Latin American finance, and alternative business funding.

Sibos

📅 September 28–October 1, 2026
📍 Miami

Sibos is expected to bring approximately 9,000 banking, payments, and financial infrastructure professionals to Miami.

For companies working in correspondent banking, cross-border payments, institutional finance, compliance, financial infrastructure, or global transaction technology, Sibos may be one of the most important events of the year.

deBanked CONNECT Miami

For brokers, funders, lenders, ISOs, and companies focused specifically on small business finance, deBanked CONNECT Miami is often one of the most relevant rooms in South Florida.

The event brings together professionals from across the merchant cash advance, revenue-based finance, commercial lending, payments, and brokerage sectors.

The 2027 date has not yet been announced, but the event has historically taken place in February at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach.

Fintech Americas

Fintech Americas typically takes place in March and offers a strong Latin American banking and fintech focus.

It may be especially valuable for organizations exploring cross-border relationships, LATAM partnerships, banking modernization, and regional financial technology opportunities.

🗽 New York City: One of the Strongest Conference Markets in Finance

For fintech, commercial finance, payments, lending, and capital markets, few cities offer the concentration of events and financial decision-makers available in New York.

The 2026–2027 calendar includes:

📌 FinovateFall: September 9–11, 2026
📌 Brokers Expo New York: September 15–16, 2026
📌 New York Fintech Week: Late April 2027
📌 Broker Fair: Spring 2027

FinovateFall and Brokers Expo New York take place less than one week apart, creating an opportunity for companies traveling to New York to attend two highly relevant events during one extended trip.

FinovateFall is generally more focused on fintech products, banking innovation, software, and financial technology demonstrations.

Brokers Expo and Broker Fair are more directly aligned with commercial finance professionals, including brokers, lenders, funders, ISOs, service providers, and companies supporting the small business funding ecosystem.

For growing finance companies, New York can offer one of the best combinations of education, technology discovery, partnership development, and direct access to decision-makers.

🍁 Canada: Lending and Fintech Leadership in Toronto

Canadian Lenders Summit

📅 October 20, 2026
📍 The Quay, Toronto

The Canadian Lenders Summit is promoted as one of Canada’s largest lending conferences and is expected to bring together approximately 800 professionals from banks, lenders, fintech companies, and financial service organizations.

The event may be particularly useful for executives interested in:

• Consumer and commercial lending

• Credit and underwriting technology

• Bank and fintech partnerships

• Canadian market expansion

• Regulatory and economic trends

• Alternative lending

Its sister event, the Canadian Finance Summit, generally takes place in Toronto during late May and offers a broader fintech and financial services focus.

⚠️ One Important Scheduling Conflict

October 20–21, 2026 presents a major scheduling challenge.

Money20/20 USA, the B2B Finance Expo, and the Canadian Lenders Summit overlap during the same period.

Each event serves a somewhat different audience:

💳 Money20/20: Large-scale fintech, banking, payments, and venture ecosystem
🤝 B2B Finance Expo: Brokers, funders, lenders, and commercial finance providers
🏦 Canadian Lenders Summit: Canadian banking, lending, and fintech executives

Companies should choose based on the relationships they want to build, the customers they want to reach, and the markets they are prioritizing.
