What Money20/20 does

Money20/20 is a global fintech events and content platform wholly owned by Informa plc and structured as a four-region flagship conference franchise: Asia (Bangkok), Europe (Amsterdam), Middle East (Riyadh, inaugurated September 2025), and USA (Las Vegas). Each regional show operates as a multi-day conference with multi-stage programming, sponsor exhibition floors, and dedicated websites and registration systems, with Money20/20 USA 2024 reporting over 10,000 attendees from 90+ countries and Money20/20 Middle East 2025 expected to draw 45,000 attendees. The underlying technology stack is event-management and content-platform infrastructure — registration systems, dedicated event websites, podcast hosting, video distribution for the Taking Stock daily NYSE program, and a content library powering year-round distribution. Sub-brands extend the franchise beyond live events: MoneyPot and The Bank Tellers podcasts, The Intersection platform for stablecoins and digital assets, The Money Awards recognition program, and DEI programs RiseUp and Amplify.

The business model combines three revenue streams: (1) ticket and pass revenue from conference attendees, (2) enterprise sponsorship packages sold directly to a base of 800+ global annual sponsors, and (3) awards program entry fees and digital content monetization. Pricing is quote-based and varies by region, pass tier, and sponsorship package. Customer segments span five verticals led by fintech companies and startups, financial institutions and banks, and payments companies, with investors/VCs and regulators as secondary segments. Buyer concentration is anchored by flagship partners including Visa, Mastercard, J.P. Morgan, PayPal, Citi, and Standard Chartered.

The company operates from five offices (London HQ, New York, Singapore, Bangkok, and Riyadh) and executes under an event-driven go-to-market motion layered with year-round content distribution through podcasts, video, whitepapers, and original research with partners such as FXC Intelligence and Juniper Research. With a headcount of 11-50 employees, Money20/20 runs a lean operating model that leverages Informa's back-office, regional entities, and channel partners (Tahaluf in the Middle East) to scale the franchise without standalone overhead. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and Money20/20 does not break out as a discrete segment in Informa plc's filings.
