About the Event

Fintoberfest is Atlanta’s first fintech festival — a new tradition where innovation meets celebration. Part networking event, part Oktoberfest party, Fintoberfest brings together founders, investors, fintech professionals, and community leaders for an evening that blends big ideas with big beers.

Why come? Because fintech is one of Atlanta’s greatest strengths — our city is home to global leaders, fast-growing startups, and the talent pipeline fueling the industry. Fintoberfest is where that ecosystem comes together in one place, to connect, showcase new ideas, spark partnerships, and celebrate the community that makes Atlanta the fintech capital of the South.

This isn’t just another conference or cocktail mixer. It’s a high-energy festival — with startup showcases, rapid-fire pitches, sponsor activations, and Bavarian-inspired fun — designed to make networking effortless, conversations unforgettable, and the fintech community stronger than ever.

At Fintoberfest, you won’t just attend an event — you’ll experience the spirit of Atlanta fintech at its best.
