Largest FREE Financial Empowerment and AI Conference

FREE 2-Day Financial Empowerment Festival Focusing on AI

The DFREE® Global Foundation announced that FinFe$T 2026 will take place Nov. 13–14 at Kean University in Union, New Jersey. The free, two-day financial empowerment and artificial intelligence festival will be presented under the theme “AI 4 U$: Access = Success.” Powered by Prudential and RWJBarnabas Health, FinFe$T 2026 will combine financial empowerment, technology education, career development, entrepreneurship, health and wellness, and practical access to artificial intelligence tools and resources.

FinFe$T has become a vibrant hub for education, opportunity, and financial empowerment. Now in its seventh year, the event serves families, young people, entrepreneurs, creatives, small business owners, and anyone committed to defining their path to financial freedom.

FinFe$T 2026 is designed for people at every stage of life, from students exploring future careers and entrepreneurs seeking to grow their businesses to professionals preparing for an AI-influenced economy and families working to strengthen their financial futures.

Dee C. Marshall, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner at AI Training Plus, will serve as co-host of FinFe$T 2026. Marshall is also the founder of The People Side of AI, a global, people-first initiative advancing a non-regulatory observance of AI’s human impact across Africa, East Asia, Europe, North America and the Pacific Region.

Programming will address practical and timely questions, including:

• Can AI help people make smarter financial decisions?
• Which jobs will AI change, and how can workers prepare?
• How can small businesses use AI to compete and grow?
• Can AI become a tool for building wealth and closing opportunity gaps?
• How can families protect themselves from scams, misinformation, and privacy risks?
• How can young people prepare to participate in—and help shape—the AI economy?
• How can financial, physical and behavioral wellness work together to strengthen families?

Friday, Nov. 13, will focus on youth, faith, and leadership under the banner “Access Starts Early.” Programming will include youth financial literacy and AI-access workshops, career readiness, credit and entrepreneurship education, behavioral health resources, a Faith Symposium, and a gathering of DFREE® Movement leaders and supporters. KreditVerse will serve as a central partner in the youth experience.

Saturday, Nov. 14, will offer a broader community experience connecting attendees with practical information, trusted experts, and resources related to money management, artificial intelligence, careers, entrepreneurship, wealth building, and family wellness. Sessions will be organized around the real questions people are asking about AI and its impact on their lives and financial futures.

FinFe$T 2026 is free and open to the public. The event will take place Nov. 13–14 at Kean University in Union, New Jersey.
