A month-long celebration of markets meets Oktoberfest with festive content, CEO interviews, and a flagship event in San Diego
Stocktwits, the leading social platform for investors and traders, today announced the launch of Stocktoberfest, a month-long celebration bringing the spirit of Oktoberfest to the markets with community-driven content, interactive features, and live events. GraniteShares, the global ETF asset manager reimagining entire asset classes through disruptive innovation, will serve as the inaugural Title Partner for Stocktoberfest.
Throughout October, Stocktwits’ 10 million registered users will experience themed content across newsletters, video shows, and social media, including festive takes on earnings season, creator-led discussions, and exclusive interviews with public company CEOs. The celebration will culminate in Stocktoberfest in San Diego, October 20–22 at the iconic Hotel del Coronado. The in-person flagship event is designed to connect public company executives, market analysts, creators, and retail investors in a dynamic, data-rich, and Oktoberfest-inspired atmosphere.
“Stocktoberfest is about bringing the markets to life in a way that’s festive, approachable, and community-driven,” said Howard Lindzon, Founder and CEO of Stocktwits. “Retail investors are shaping public market narratives in real time, and with GraniteShares as our visionary Title Partner, we’re giving public companies and investors a new way to engage during one of the busiest months in markets.”
GraniteShares Founder and CEO Will Rhind added: “At GraniteShares, disruption is at the heart of everything we do. We built our business to challenge accepted industry boundaries, whether by eliminating unnecessary costs, enhancing transparency, or delivering entirely new asset classes. Partnering with Stocktwits for Stocktoberfest is the perfect extension of that philosophy by connecting with the retail community in a way that’s bold, innovative, and unforgettable.”
At Stocktoberfest San Diego, programming spans two tracks: the Biergarten Stage, where retail investors will gain actionable insights from top Finfluencers, learn strategies for earnings season and market trends, and explore creator-led sessions on trust and influence; and the Boardroom Bierhalle, where public company leaders and IR professionals dive into best practices for engaging retail investors, tactical workshops on storytelling and creator partnerships, and forward-looking discussions on building loyalty, boosting visibility, and leveraging pre-IPO capital raising. The event is close to capacity—visit https://stocktoberfest.stocktwits.com/ to secure tickets.
