Ahead of the Finance Magnates Pacific Summit (FMPS) this August 27-29, Andrea Badiola Mateos, Chief Commercial Officer at Finance Magnates Group, helped shed light on the upcoming event and its unique opportunities. As a premium summit in Sydney, Australia, she explained the event’s goals and attributes in full-length interview.
Can you tell us about the upcoming FMPS and what was the impetus behind hosting this event in Sydney?
Australia is one of the most established regions for finance in APAC and we have always brought Australia to the rest of the world. We thought it was time to bring the world of fintech to Australia.
Finance Magnates Pacific Summit (FMPS) is the highest quality fintech event in the Asia Pacific region, which will be held on August 27-29. Our team chose Sydney as the ideal location of this event given the sophistication and industry talent locally in Australia. We look forward to connecting plenty of brands and players from around the world to regional service providers and brokers.
What are the main goals of FMPS?
Considering the landscape and our 13-year record producing world-class events worldwide, FMPS will look to bridge both the B2B and B2C sides. Creating the space for all the different industry players to shape and define APAC’s (and Australia’s) direction of fintech while opening the best business opportunities is at the heart of what we want to provide.
Can you elaborate on who the target audience is for FMPS and what are the verticals or industries that will be represented throughout the event?
FMPS will aim to attract several different types of industry participants. Look for recognizable brands, as well as plenty of brokers, service providers, IBs and sophisticated traders on-site. FMPS will cater the online trading, fintech and blockchain verticals. We are expecting over 100 leading speakers, some of the most-trusted brands, and over a thousand high-level attendees. The resulting atmosphere will reflect an invaluable opportunity for engagement, connections, and networking.
You mentioned FMPS will be hosting some industry-leading brands, could you divulge to us or mention a few who will be in attendance or any notable sponsorships?
FMPS will be spotlighted by the biggest brands in the B2B and B2C sides of the fintech industry. This starts with world-leading brokers such as Pepperstone, Saxo, Avatrade, Equiti, and innovative technology providers such as B2Broker, OneZero, FxCubic, Match-Trade and many more. The summit will also serve as a hub for actionable insights, a future outlook on each industry vertical, and a chance to show off each other's wares.
What are some key topics that will be covered at FMPS?
FMPS is all about content, as indicated by a curated track of panels, workshops, sessions, and much more. Each content vertical mentioned above will be explored at length, followed by such notable topics as the future of financial services in APAC, the impact of AI both within companies and in offerings to investors, a survey of the Aussie fintech landscape and talent pool, and more, as headlined on the upcoming agenda.
What opportunities will attendees have at the event?
Networking and engagement opportunities are the highlight of the valuable connections built throughout FMevents. Starting with the official event app which will give access to connecting with other attendees to browse and schedule meetings, followed by the Networking Blitz on August 27, participants can kick off by mingling with others and setting the stage for the next two full days of exhibition.
FMPS itself will include two full days of content, entertainment, and more, where golden connections can happen on the summit floor. Beyond networking, all participants can expect to learn from experts and speakers, whether you are an industry leader, a veteran trader or just starting your trading journey.
FMevents has established itself as a global force in events. Can you describe some previous events your company has hosted?

Each of our events brings together the industry elite for an exclusive, premium unforgettable experience.
