About This Show
AI-drafted summaryFinCon is the business event for money content creators — the bloggers, podcasters, YouTubers, coaches, advisors, educators, influencers, and brands who build platforms around personal finance. Billed as "where money and media meet," the conference is designed to help creators grow smarter, monetize faster, and build sustainable businesses. As organizers put it, you don't need millions of followers to belong; if you're building a brand or platform to help people with their money, FinCon is for you.
Attendees come for practical sessions on monetizing beyond brand deals, growing their reach across YouTube, email, social, and podcasts, launching products or memberships, and building the systems behind a scalable content business. A major draw is the chance to connect with sponsors: every Creator Pass includes access to 15-minute 1:1 meetings with financial brands, fintechs, and creator service providers that can lead to sponsorships, affiliate deals, and collaborations.
Beyond the sessions, FinCon is as much a community as a conference. It gathers hundreds of like-minded "Money Nerds" for meetups, networking, and the buzzing FinCon Central expo hall, making it a worthwhile stop for anyone serious about turning financial content into a real business.
Show Highlights
Signature features of FinCon 2026 include:
- FinCon Central expo hall — with 50+ booths featuring tools, platforms, and financial brands where partnerships often begin.
- 1:1 Brand Meetings — 15-minute face-to-face meetings between creators and industry reps, matched via the FinCon app before the event and open to all creators, not just the biggest names.
- Sessions built around real creator problems — covering how to monetize beyond brand deals, grow an audience without burning out, launch products and courses that sell, and build sustainable systems.
- Meetups, networking, and brand parties — plus optional networking lunches with speakers and brands.
Speakers announced for 2026 include Rose Han, money expert, YouTuber (@itsrosehan), and bestselling author; Jeremy Schneider, founder of Personal Finance Club and Nectarine; and Kelsa Dickey, founder of Financial Coach Academy and creator of the SpendFirst methodology, whose session introduces a "Three-Lens Framework" for creator business decisions.

History
FinCon launched in 2011 as the Financial Blogger Conference and has since expanded to include the most influential digital content creators and brands in the personal finance space. Its stated mission is to help personal finance content creators "go pro and scale," exposing millions of people to ideas of financial freedom and independence. Beyond the flagship annual event and expo, FinCon has grown into a broader community that includes regional meet-ups, an online community, and online education. The event brings together creators working in blogging, podcasts, social media, and video on financial topics such as debt, investing, and saving, and many attend specifically to connect with brands for advertising partnerships.
