Big Ideas are short, powerful talks celebrating the good, innovative work being done in the personal finance community.
For #FinCon22 we’re shaking up the Main Stage structure to include more Big Idea talks! Instead of featuring keynote speakers, each of the three Main Stage sessions will include multiple Big Idea talks. (Think TED talks for Money Nerds.)
This format gives you the opportunity to be both inspired and challenged by creators who have built their businesses and platforms right here in our own space.
