What Money20/20 USA actually is
Money20/20 USA is the marquee US fintech and payments conference — banks, networks, processors, and startups in one place. Held typically October in Las Vegas — dates, pricing, and format change year to year, so confirm on the official site before you book anything.
Who actually gets ROI
Go if: you sell into or partner across payments, banking, or fintech; the deal-makers concentrate here.
Skip it if: you're outside financial services; it's a specialist show.
The ROI test
fintech runs on relationships — Money20/20 earns its cost if your pipeline is partnership-led, less so for a cold-outbound motion. That is the whole discipline: a conference is a spend against a quota like any other trip. Run it through the Conference ROI Planner — if the pipeline case doesn't clear the cost, the honest answer is to stay home and send one person, not the team.
