What Was MONEYconf 2022?
MONEYconf ran from 1 to 4 November 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal. A dedicated fintech track within the much larger Web Summit technology conference, it brought together banking executives, fintech founders, and payments specialists for focused programming exploring digital banking, payments innovation, and emerging financial technology. It is a broad fintech track, not a dedicated crypto event, though digital assets featured among the topics discussed given crypto's growing role within mainstream financial technology.
MONEYconf's positioning within Web Summit's massive overall attendance gave finance-focused sessions genuine access to a globally significant technology audience. To follow similar events, check the crypto events calendar and our crypto summits list. The official page sat on the MONEYconf site.
Key Themes at MONEYconf 2022
The four-day track covered fintech broadly:
- Digital banking transformation.
- Payments and remittance innovation.
- Emerging technology, including crypto.
- Banking and tech industry crossover.
The track-within-mega-conference format gave MONEYconf attendees access to Web Summit's broader, much larger technology audience alongside dedicated finance-specific programming. Many guests also tracked broader blockchain events through CoinGabbar.
How MONEYconf's Web Summit Positioning Shaped Its Crypto Conversation
Portugal's Banco de Portugal serves as the national competent authority for crypto-asset service providers, providing a stable regulatory backdrop for an event hosted within Lisbon's broader Web Summit ecosystem. As a fintech track embedded within one of the world's largest technology conferences, MONEYconf's crypto discussions benefited from proximity to Web Summit's globally significant attendee base, spanning far beyond purely financial services into broader technology, venture capital, and startup circles.
This positioning meant MONEYconf's digital asset sessions reached attendees who might not have specifically sought out a crypto-native event, treating blockchain as one emerging financial technology category among the track's broader payments and banking innovation coverage.

Impact of MONEYconf on Lisbon's Broader Tech-Finance Crossover
A fintech track within Web Summit's massive conference advanced Lisbon's broader tech-finance crossover through genuine cross-audience exposure. It connected digital asset vendors with attendees from Web Summit's globally significant, broader technology base. It surfaced Banco de Portugal's regulatory framework to a finance-focused subset of a much larger audience. And it reinforced Lisbon's role hosting one of the world's most significant technology conferences. Each session reflected that broad-audience, track-embedded character.
