Stripe’s annual flagship conference, Stripe Sessions, returns to Moscone West in San Francisco on April 29 and 30, 2026, gathering business leaders, founders, developers, and financial technology practitioners from across the global internet economy. The event runs across two full days of keynotes, breakout sessions, hands-on training, certification exams, and networking, with a pre-conference Partner Summit and optional training day on April 28.
The program centers on themes reshaping how commerce gets done: AI-native models, agentic commerce, and cryptocurrency. Stripe will use the main stage to deliver its biggest product announcements of the year, while breakout tracks cover payment optimization, fraud and dispute management, recurring revenue, marketplace and vertical SaaS infrastructure, stablecoin-based global payments, and AI agent-ready checkout experiences.
Headlining the event are Stripe cofounders Patrick Collison (CEO) and John Collison (President), alongside Will Gaybrick, Stripe’s President of Technology and Business, who will deliver the product keynote. Patrick Collison will host a featured conversation with Greg Brockman, cofounder and President of OpenAI, on Day 1, and close out Day 2 alongside investors Daniel Gross and Nat Friedman. John Collison anchors Day 2’s morning session with a talk titled “Indexing the Economy.”
Other featured speakers include Ginger Baker, Meta’s VP of Product Management for Fintech and Payments; Kate Jensen, Head of Americas at Anthropic; Guillermo Rauch, CEO of Vercel; and Cristina Cordova, Chief Operating Officer of Linear. The full speaker roster spans more than 200 participants from companies including Coinbase, Mastercard, Visa, Klarna, Affirm, Bank of America, Microsoft, and Canva. The complete list is available on the event website.
Conference passes are priced at $999, with a combined conference and training bundle available at $1,199. The event is open to attendees 18 and over.
