We’re excited to host CTO Craft Con: Fintech at The Minster Building, right in the heart of the City of London.
Surrounded by the energy of one of the world’s leading financial districts, The Minster Building offers a modern space designed for bringing people together — a fitting setting for two days focused on the realities of leading technology inside fintech and regulated environments today.
With easy access from Bank, Monument, and Fenchurch Street, the venue places attendees at the centre of the conversations shaping the future of financial technology. Across the event, you can expect practical talks, honest leadership discussions, and valuable time connecting with fellow CTOs, VPs Engineering, and senior technology leaders navigating many of the same challenges.
