About this event
Belgrade has no shortage of smart people working across finance and technology. What’s harder to find is a setting where conversation feels natural, titles matter less, and meeting someone new doesn’t require a badge scan or a formal agenda. FinTech Runners in Belgrade! brings that together in a simple format: meet in person, move a little, talk a lot, and connect with people who care about fintech, tech, and community. If you work in fintech, build products, invest, operate, advise, or simply want to spend time with people shaping the space, this is a low-pressure way to do it. The running element gives the event energy and structure, while the community side makes it approachable whether you come with friends or show up solo. What Is This? This is an in-person community meetup in Belgrade for people connected to fintech and the wider tech ecosystem who like the idea of combining movement with real conversation. Instead of gathering around a stage or standing in a crowded room trying to break into circles, attendees connect through a more relaxed, active format. At its core, the event is about bringing together people who are building, thinking about, or supporting financial technology in a way that feels human. You may be deep in payments, banking, infrastructure, regulation, startups, product, or engineering. You may also simply be fintech-curious and looking for a stronger local network. The format is designed to make those worlds meet naturally. Because this is a community-led style event, the value comes from the people in the room and the conversations that happen around the activity. Expect a mix of networking, informal introductions, and the kind of discussions that are easier to have when you are not rushing from one scheduled session to the next. What to Expect The evening starts at 7:30 PM on Friday, September 26 in Belgrade, Serbia. As people arrive, expect a casual meet-up window where you can say hello, get oriented, and meet a few fellow attendees before things get moving. If you’ve ever found traditional networking awkward, this part tends to feel easier when everyone is arriving for a shared activity. The running component creates a natural flow to the event. Rather than forcing conversation, it gives people a reason to pair off, rotate, and talk organically. Some attendees will come mainly for the fintech community, others for the run, and many for both. That mix is part of what makes the event interesting. You can expect the evening to include: A friendly in-person meet-up with people from fintech, tech, and adjacent fields A social running element that makes it easier to connect without the stiffness of formal networking Informal conversations about startups, products, markets, careers, and what’s happening across the ecosystem A community atmosphere where it’s normal to meet new people, ask questions, and continue conversations after the run This is not a conference and not a highly programmed panel event. The format is intentionally simple. That simplicity makes room for better interactions: fewer speeches, more actual talking; fewer polished introductions, more honest exchanges. Why Attend If you care about fintech, one of the best reasons to come is access to people you might not otherwise meet in your usual routine. Workdays tend to keep us inside our company, function, or immediate network. Events like this widen the circle. You may meet founders, operators, builders, advisors, or peers facing similar challenges from different angles. There is also something useful about connecting outside a purely professional setting. People tend to be more open, more memorable, and easier to talk to when the environment is active and informal. That often leads to stronger follow-up conversations, better professional relationships, and more genuine local community ties. You should attend if you want: A better way to network than standing around making small talk New local fintech and tech connections in Belgrade Conversations with substance, not just quick introductions A community setting that is welcoming whether you are established in the industry or still finding your place A Friday evening plan that feels social, useful, and energizing Even if your main goal is simply to meet a few thoughtful people in the ecosystem, this format is well suited to that. You leave with more than a list of names; you leave having actually spent time with people.
