The wait is almost over. iFX EXPO Asia 2026 begins tomorrow, 7 October, bringing the global trading and fintech industry together in Hong Kong. The Welcome Party will open the event tomorrow evening, followed by two days of exhibition, conference sessions and business networking at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on 8–9 October.
With 5,000+ attendees from 130+ countries, 150+ exhibitors and 120+ speakers expected, the event will bring together professionals from across online trading, fintech and financial services.
The week has already started on a strong note, with the iFX EXPO Asia Hackathon bringing developers, innovators and industry professionals together ahead of the main event. The Hackathon sets the tone for a week focused on collaboration, innovation and new opportunities across the financial technology ecosystem.
Brokers, banks, payments companies, technology providers, liquidity providers and digital asset businesses are heading to Hong Kong to meet new contacts, explore opportunities and discuss what comes next for the industry. For those still deciding whether to attend, registration remains open.
Tomorrow, the conversations begin
The first connections will happen before the exhibition floor even opens.
The Welcome Party on 7 October gives attendees the opportunity to reconnect with industry peers, meet new contacts and get the event underway in a more relaxed setting. For those arriving with meetings already scheduled, it is a chance to connect ahead of two busy days. For first-time visitors, it offers an early introduction to the iFX EXPO Asia community.
From 8 October, the focus moves to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, where companies from across the industry will showcase their latest products, services and solutions.
Meet the people behind the business
ZFX, M4Markets, INFINOX, EBC Financial Group, Syphonix and B2Broker are among the featured exhibitors taking part in this year’s event.
For attendees, the exhibition floor provides an opportunity to take conversations beyond emails and introductory calls. Meet the teams behind the solutions you are considering, compare providers, explore new technologies or discover companies that were not previously on your radar.
And with thousands of professionals from across the financial industry under one roof, some of the most valuable opportunities may happen outside the scheduled agenda — through a meeting between sessions, an introduction on the expo floor or a conversation that leads to the next partnership.
Big questions, experienced voices
The conference programme brings together senior industry figures including Wei Zhou, CEO of Coins.ph; Rachel Qiu, Head of Business Development and Chief Operating Officer at HashKey; and Emil Chan, Co-Chair of the Hong Kong Digital Finance Association.
They will be joined by Prof. Andy Chun, Professor of Practice at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and Tim Ferland, Group CEO of LetKnow, among other industry leaders.
Across the Speaker Hall and Mastery Hub, sessions will explore some of the developments shaping the financial industry, including AI, stablecoins, tokenisation, prediction markets and trading technology, alongside opportunities for growth across APAC.
Attendees can hear directly from professionals working across these areas, take insights from the conference into their own businesses and continue the conversation on the exhibition floor.
Make room for the meetings that matter
Beyond the conference and exhibition, 1:1 Business Connect adds a more targeted approach to networking, connecting participants with relevant industry professionals and potential business partners. Sponsors and exhibitors can explore the programme’s pre-qualified meeting opportunities through the official event website.
Roundtables provide another opportunity for senior professionals to take part in focused discussions around shared interests, business priorities and industry challenges. These invitation-only sessions complement the wider programme with a more concentrated environment for meaningful conversation.
The networking continues beyond the exhibition floor through Experiences and evening events. Together with the Welcome Party, these events create additional opportunities to build relationships and continue conversations in a more informal setting.
Your final preparations start here
With the event just hours away, attendees can start planning their experience through the iFX EXPO Asia app.
Explore the programme, discover exhibitors and speakers, connect with other attendees and identify the companies and sessions you want to prioritise.
With thousands of professionals gathering in one place, it is worth leaving room for the unexpected. Some of the most valuable conversations may not be the ones already in your calendar.
