When you think of Miami’s glitzy Brickell district, you imagine sleek skyscrapers, sun-kissed streets, and the vibrant buzz of the finance and tech world mingling over cocktails. At the heart of this scene is Laura Sylvia, a powerhouse connector and the face behind FinTech Friday, a must-attend event for anyone looking to tap into the future of finance and technology. But now, Laura is taking her vision further—farther than the warm shores of Miami—to the city that never sleeps: New York.
A New Chapter in Times Square
While Laura’s FinTech Fridays have become a cornerstone of Miami’s tech scene, a new opportunity presented itself in the form of Crypto Monday. Lou Kerner, a major figure in the crypto world, sought Laura out to help host Crypto Monday, their globally recognized event, while she was in New York. The event, held at the iconic Margaritaville in Times Square, provided the perfect opportunity for Laura to bring her Miami magic to the city.
“It was exhilarating to see how many people in New York shared the same hunger for innovation,” Laura shares. “Crypto and fintech are global, and seeing that energy in New York—one of the world’s financial hubs—made it clear: FinTech Fridays needed to make its way here.”
And Laura isn’t doing it alone. GingkoWang, a renowned figure in finance, is stepping in to bring her expertise and extensive network to ensure FinTech Fridays’ Manhattan debut is a success. With the dynamic duo of Laura and Gingko at the helm, the event promises to be a magnet for movers, shakers, and future disruptors in the fintech world.
From Miami’s Skyline to Manhattan’s Glittering Lights
What makes FinTech Friday so unique? It’s not just about gathering tech enthusiasts and finance professionals—it’s about building community. Laura has managed to create a space where fintech founders, investors, and curious minds alike can come together, share ideas, and network in a setting that feels both professional and laid-back. And now, this high-energy experience is about to electrify the Big Apple.
As the fintech landscape continues to evolve, events like these are crucial for fostering collaboration and sparking new ideas. And with New York City now added to the roster, it’s clear that Laura’s mission to connect people and ideas is resonating far beyond Miami’s borders.
What’s Next for FinTech Fridays?
With FinTech Friday set to make its mark in Manhattan, the future looks bright. The events are bound to pop up in other major cities too, as the fintech movement continues to grow. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a curious newcomer, you won’t want to miss out on what’s next.
