We’re excited to share that BankTech Ventures has been named an Official Community Partner of Fintech NerdCon 2026, taking place November 19 and 20 at the San Diego Convention Center.NerdCon isn’t a typical industry conference. There are no sales cubicles, no transactional booth-walking, no boilerplate panels. The event is built around deep conversation, curated networking, and real technical substance, which is why it fits so naturally with the community banking and fintech innovation ecosystem we work alongside every day.

What our partnership means

As a Community Partner, we’ll be working with the NerdCon team to help shape the event’s banking programming and to surface speakers and sponsors from across our portfolio and bank network. Practically, that opens up a few things for our community:

  • Complimentary tickets for a limited group of BankTech Ventures bank partners through NerdCon’s Hosted Banker Program, which also includes a small set of curated meetings on-site.
  • A discount on tickets and sponsorships for BankTech Ventures portfolio companies, bank partners, and investors.
  • The opportunity to be considered as a speaker, with BankTech nominating voices from across our portfolio and bank network for the 2026 agenda.

Why this matters

Community banks and the fintech companies serving them deserve forums that meet them at the level of depth their work demands. NerdCon is one of the few national-stage fintech events built for exactly that kind of substantive engagement, and we’re glad to be helping bring more community bankers and portfolio-company voices into the room.
