RealTalk 2026: Lived Experience
We are excited to invite you to our 5th annual RealTalk.
RealTalk 2026 | Lived Experience
Designing Finance for Real Life
Join FintechWomen for RealTalk 2026, an afternoon of thoughtful, thought provoking conversations about how financial services can better reflect the realities of the people they serve.
Financial services is changing quickly, but good design still begins with understanding people. This year we explore the question that sits at the heart of innovation: Are we designing financial services around how people actually live?
Now in its fifth year(!), RealTalk continues to push at the boundaries of how we think about the future of financial services. Meet industry professionals, emerging leaders and students to challenge assumptions, share perspectives and explore what better financial products and experiences could look like when lived experience is part of the design process from the start.
Through keynote conversations, panel discussions, interactive sessions and lots of networking opportunities, we’ll connect big ideas with practical insight and examine how a deeper understanding of people can lead to better products, stronger relationships and more trusted financial services.
Bobbie Carlton will be a featured speaker at this event.
