Have you ever been to a party about money?

The EconoMe Conference is the only large-scale event specifically designed for the FIRE movement (financial independence, retire early).

We solve 2 key problems for those pursuing financial independence:

1. It's an isolating endeavor and your social circle thinks you're weird. We believe that FI is Better with Friends! Tapping into this incredible community will add a richness to your path in ways that you can’t do on your own.

2. You need to Fuel the FIRE. When many of us first start out, we’re buzzing with enthusiasm. We reduce our expenses, we increase our income, we refine our investment strategy, and we settle into the accumulation phase of our journey. But after you’ve optimized all the things, the majority of your time pursuing FI is a waiting game. Halfway through accumulation, you wake up and realize that you’re bored. Come to EconoMe for inspiration and to learn something that surprises you.

EconoMe is jam-packed with 3 full days of presentations, workshops, breakout sessions, and a slew of fun social activities. Check out our schedule here, and our programming here

About the organizer

The EconoMe Conference is the only large-scale event specifically designed for the FIRE movement (financial independence, retire early). This 3 day party about money held in Cincinnati, OH is jam-packed with presentations, workshops, breakout sessions, and a slew of fun social activities.

Diania Merriam, the founder of EconoMe, was motivated to start a conference after the pursuit of FIRE changed her life. After she discovered blogs like Mr. Money Mustache and Frugalwoods, as well as books such as Your Money or Your Life and The Simple Path to Wealth, she used her newfound knowledge to get out of $30k of debt in 11 months and start saving/investing 60% of her income. She then negotiated a remote working relationship with her employer as well as a 2-month unpaid sabbatical to walk the Camino de Santiago (a 500-mile trek across northern Spain). Diania’s high savings rate allowed her to self-fund her own business and retire from her corporate career at 33 years old. She now helps others find community and inspiration on the path to financial freedom.

Diania has been featured on Business Insider, MarketWatch, Good Day Columbus, CNBC, WLWT5 as well as podcasts including Choose FI, Bigger Pockets Money, and Stacking Benjamins.
