​Fintech Reads

​Where Books and Big Ideas Meet Fintech Innovation 

​We’re testing out a new kind of community-driven experience for those that believe big ideas start with a spark of creativity and a good book. 

​Whether it’s a fiction novel or the latest best-selling business book, we’re here for it. Fintech Reads brings together finance and fintech leaders for open conversation and networking about the books, challenges, and opportunities that keep us up at night. 

​Hosted by This Week in Fintech and MX, our launch event at NY Fintech Week blends thought-provoking discussions, creative inspiration, and a fun new way to connect with peers.
