The 2025 Chicago Payments Symposium (Off-site), hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 8 and Thursday. Oct. 9 — and it will be bigger and better than ever before.
Now in its 25th year, this leading forum is a unique opportunity for thought leaders to explore fast-moving changes, trends and innovation in the payments ecosystem. The event brings together payments executives from multiple disciplines, including financial institutions, fintechs, corporates, service providers, regulators, academics, lawyers and international leaders.
The Symposium always features thought-provoking speakers and engaging panel discussions that explore current and future trends in payments. This year, we are expanding our in-person capacity so more people can experience the Symposium and benefit from the tremendous networking opportunities.
