Frequently asked questions
When should I start outreach for Money 20/20 Vegas?
Three weeks out — payment company execs + banking partners book 14-21 days ahead. By 14 days, the senior decision-makers are already committed. Day -21 first outreach, Day -14 nudge, Day -1 confirmation is the right cadence.
How do I prioritize 13,000 Money 20/20 attendees?
Filter by sub-vertical first — payments processors, banking platforms, fintech vendors, regulators. 50-70 target names is realistic. Vegas conferences reward depth over breadth — beyond 70 names, you'll spend the conference in transit between Venetian floors.
What's the best LinkedIn post format for Money 20/20 Vegas?
Schedule + topic + clear ask. 'I'll be at Money 20/20 Days 1-3 — would love to talk to people working on [specific payment topic]. DM me for 20 min.' US fintech audience over-indexes on this format and reciprocates.
How do I handle the Vegas social scene without burning Day 1 morning?
Skip Day 0 night cocktails. Save Day 2 evening for the heavier networking — by then you've banked your serious meetings. Day 1 morning meetings are 50% of your conference value; do not show up hungover. The senior payment execs respect this; the junior reps don't notice the difference.
Should I outreach in English only?
Yes — Money 20/20 Vegas is English-default for 95% of attendees. Including international language openers can read as performative for senior US-based payment execs.
