​To celebrate Women’s History Month, Fintech Is Femme is joining forces with Arta Finance to host a virtual event to inspire you with insights from female leaders driving the change our industry needs.

​Join us for an exciting session with Nicole Casperson, the Founder and CEO of Fintech Is Femme, as she interviews Betsy Cohen, Co-Founder and Chair of Cohen Circle; Samita Malik, Chief Insurance Officer of Arta Finance; and Tori Dunlap, founder of Her First $100k, bestselling author, and educator who has helped over four million women negotiate salary, pay off debt, build savings, and invest.

​In a series of "hot seat" questions, our speakers will provide valuable insights, dispel myths surrounding women in finance, and inspire you to take ownership of your power as a woman in the fintech industry.

​March 19th's virtual event will:

• ​​Uncover the stale myths surrounding women in fintech and how to bust them in 2024

• ​​Share the powerful and inspiring stories of female fintech executives who have shaped our industry

• ​Introduce you to new fintech friends in breakout rooms designed to level up your network

• ​​Feature a surprise appearance from a finance influencer whose perspectives will change the way you approach this industry

​
Not only will we be hosting an event for the community to come together, but we're also providing a unique opportunity to nominate a female trailblazer to speak on a panel with industry luminaries during the event.

​Here’s how it works: 

• ​Secure your seat by registering

• ​Fill out your information

• ​Know a trailblazing woman who deserves to have her voice amplified? Nominate her during the registration process for the opportunity to join the speaker faculty.

​By submitting your registration and nomination, you’re opening the door for another woman to become a fintech trailblazer with an opportunity to join a prestigious panel of industry luminaries. 

​
We are thrilled to host this event with Arta Finance, recently awarded Nasdaq’s Fintech Trailblazer of 2024. Arta is making it possible for more people to access high-value financial tech, not just the 1%.

​Together, Arta and I will also gift the first 50 registrants a digital swag bag (including a copy of Tori Dunlap's bestselling book, Financial Feminist)!
