User-Generated Experiences (UGE) are created by FC26 attendees for FC26 attendees. 🌴

They're simply reasons to get a few Money Nerds together around something you'd actually like to do while you're in Palm Springs.

And coming up with one is easier than you might think:

➕ Pick an activity
➕ Add a topic, interest, or group

That's it. You've got the beginning of a UGE.

💡 You don't need to have the whole thing figured out before you submit, either. Our form walks you through the pieces + gives you plenty of ideas to help get you started.

👀 Once it's approved, we'll add your UGE to the FinCon schedule so other attendees can find it + join you.

And please: have some fun with this. 😂

We're going to be in Palm Springs! Your UGE can absolutely be a great conversation over coffee. But it can also get people out exploring, eating, playing, moving, making something, or doing something delightfully specific together.

🌴 UGE SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN NOW for registered FC26 attendees.

Already have your pass? Check your recent FinCon emails for the submission link + put your idea on the schedule.
