Opinions worth hearing
We've invited a few of the sharpest investing pros we know to share their candid thoughts about markets. Everyone’s setting aside their corporate scripts for the night, so you get their honest insights.
A crowd you’ll want to join
Around 200 retail investors from across New York. Different backgrounds, different portfolios, same goal: improving their portfolios. (And maybe having a little fun doing it.)
An evening worth the subway ride
Good food, good drinks, smart conversations. And a few Finimize prizes along the way. Further proof that finance events don’t have to feel like a stuffy campus lecture.
Be part of the biggest conversations in retail investment
The Modern Investor Summit is Finimize’s flagship event series, created for a new generation of retail investors who want clarity, confidence, and access to the ideas shaping global markets. It brings together world-class thinkers, founders, and financial leaders with an audience that is actively learning and investing, creating a space where insight meets action.
Connect in-person in New York for an evening with 200–250 of the city’s most engaged retail investors.
Join a select group of financial leaders shaping the conversation, and position your brand at the heart of insight, dialogue, and action.

What Could Go Wrong (Or Right)
The current bull market has survived tariff shocks, a prolonged government shutdown, and a hefty AI repricing. But it could still be pulled off course. This panel gets into the big risks and big opportunities right now: where money's moving, which sectors look ready to run, and the retail investing trends the major brokerages are watching. If you're trying to figure out how to position for the rest of 2026, start with this.
The State Of Bitcoin and Crypto
Let’s not sugarcoat it: bitcoin and crypto have seen some rough sledding lately. In this conversation, we’re cutting through the noise and breaking down what’s going on. It’s all the stuff that matters: where we are in the cycle, how miners are pivoting toward AI infrastructure, the regulatory picture, and what to expect next.
How Retail Investors Are Using AI
Machine learning used to be a Wall Street advantage. Not anymore. Retail investors are now using AI agents to run research, build trading strategies without writing code, and analyze earnings calls in seconds. This session brings together the folks building those tools and the fintech platforms that put it all at your fingertips. If you’re curious about where this is all heading – or how you can actually use this tech today – don’t miss this conversation.
After Party
The event’s over, but New York famously doesn’t sleep. So head back to the Expo Area to unwind and keep the conversations going.
