FinovateSpring 2027 is a fintech conference and live-demo showcase run by Informa Connect's Finovate, held May 3-5, 2027 at the Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center in Chula Vista, San Diego, California. The first two days are Demo Days, where more than 50 companies each get seven minutes on stage to show working technology to bankers and investors. The third is a conference day of keynotes and panels. The 2026 edition drew 1,200+ senior decision-makers, 600+ of them from banks, credit unions and other financial institutions, with 10 of the top US banks confirmed. Its breakout stages covered AI, customer experience, payments, lending and open banking, and sessions ranged from AI for revenue and cost to financial crime and Section 1033 open-banking rules. 2027 is the first year at the Gaylord Pacific; the 2026 event was at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina. Speakers, demo companies and the agenda were still being finalized when registration opened.
