As SFF marks its milestone 10th anniversary this year, the dramatic expansion of the SFF MeetUp programme—building on a successful pilot that facilitated 10,000 connections for 1,500 participants at SFF 2024, will further empower the FinTech industry at SFF 2025 to meet, collaborate and do business like never before. This growth of the programme represents one of the most significant developments in SFF’s history.

“With the success of SFF MeetUp at our 2024 event, we’re committed to growing the meetings programme significantly in 2025 in a number of key strategic ways, including with a broader rollout that includes many more of our attendees.” said Paul Lee, Chief Executive (Markets) at Constellar, co-organiser of SFF. “SFF MeetUp participants realised great value with the programme, utilising it to meet new people, discover new organisations and create incredible new opportunities.”
