About this Event

The FinTech Club at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) is excited to welcome you to the FinTech Forward Summit 2026, the first fintech conference at Stanford GSB.

The FinTech Forward Summit 2026 will take place on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. PST at the Knight Management Center (655 Knight Way, Stanford, CA 94305) in the Oberndorf Event Center.

Stanford has long been at the forefront of fintech innovation, having produced some of the industry’s most influential companies, including Wealthfront, Nubank, Ethos, SoFi, Arc, Nala, Column, Robinhood, Figure, and Nova Credit.

  3. How AI is Redefining the Future of Financial Services: This panel will explore how AI is transforming product development, engineering, risk and compliance, and go-to-market across fintech and financial institutions.
