About this event
Zagreb is a fitting stop for a fintech roadshow built around momentum. The FinTechers CEE Roadshow - Money Motion brings together people who are actively shaping financial technology across Central and Eastern Europe for an in-person evening focused on ideas, conversations, and the practical realities of building in a fast-moving market. If you care about where fintech is heading next, this is the kind of room you want to be in. This event is designed for people who do more than casually follow the sector. It is for builders, operators, founders, investors, and curious professionals who want to exchange perspectives face to face, hear what others are seeing across the region, and connect around the themes that are driving change in fintech, tech, and autonomy. About the Event The FinTechers CEE Roadshow - Money Motion is part of a broader regional conversation, brought to Zagreb for one evening of in-person connection. The format is built to be focused and social at the same time: structured enough to spark meaningful discussion, but open enough to make room for real networking and spontaneous conversations. At its core, this event is about movement in financial technology: how products, companies, regulation, infrastructure, and customer expectations are evolving across CEE and beyond. The "roadshow" framing matters here. Rather than treating fintech as a local story only, this gathering creates space to compare notes across markets, business models, and operating environments. You can expect a room with a cross-section of people connected to fintech and adjacent sectors. That mix is often where the most useful insights happen: founders hearing operator perspectives, tech professionals comparing implementation realities, and ecosystem players identifying patterns that do not show up in headlines alone. What to Expect The evening begins at 6:00 PM GMT+1 on Tuesday, March 10, making it accessible for people coming after the workday. As an in-person event in Zagreb, the experience is built around real conversation rather than passive attendance. While the exact run of show may vary, attendees should expect a combination of: Welcome and framing to set the context for the CEE roadshow and the Zagreb stop Fintech-focused discussion around current trends, market movement, and emerging opportunities Cross-sector perspectives touching on technology, motion, and autonomy as connected themes Open networking time for meeting other attendees, exchanging ideas, and making introductions This is not the kind of event where you sit quietly in the back and leave with only a few generic slides in mind. The value comes from being present, listening carefully, and joining the conversations that emerge in the room. Whether the discussion centers on product, infrastructure, market expansion, or the future of financial services, the emphasis is likely to stay practical and relevant to people working close to the space. Expect a professional but approachable atmosphere. You should come ready to talk about what you are building, what you are seeing in the market, and where you think fintech in the region is heading next. Why Attend If you work in fintech, proximity matters. Markets in Central and Eastern Europe are dynamic, but they are also nuanced. This event gives you a chance to hear from others operating in and around the region, compare assumptions, and pressure-test your own thinking in a live setting. There is also real value in the breadth of the audience. Fintech does not move in isolation; it intersects with product, compliance, infrastructure, mobility of capital, user behavior, and broader technology shifts. An event like this helps connect those dots by bringing together people who approach the same transformation from different angles. You should attend if you want to: Expand your regional network with people relevant to fintech and tech in CEE Get sharper on market direction by hearing what others are building and prioritizing Find collaboration opportunities across startups, established companies, and ecosystem players Stay close to practical insight instead of relying only on online commentary or secondhand trend reports Be part of the local fintech conversation in Zagreb while connecting it to a broader regional context Even one strong conversation can make the evening worthwhile. The right introduction can lead to a partnership, a candidate, a customer, an investor conversation, or simply a more informed view of where the market is moving. Practical Details This is an in-person event in Zagreb, Croatia, which means the main draw is the room itself: the people attending, the quality of discussion, and the chance to build relationships face to face. If you are based in Zagreb or traveling through the region, this is an efficient way to plug into a concentrated fintech audience for the evening. Date and time: Tuesday, March 10 6:00 PM GMT+1 Because it takes place in the evening, you can plan to attend after your workday without needing to block off a full day. It is a good fit for professionals who want high-signal industry time in a compact format. A few useful ways to prepare: Come ready with a concise introduction to your role, company, or project Think about the questions you want to ask others in the room Be open to conversations outside your immediate niche within fintech Plan to stay long enough for networking, not just the opening portion If you are looking for a polished but grounded fintech gathering in Zagreb with a regional lens, this roadshow stop is a strong reason to show up.
