We’re incredibly pleased to announce our Finovate events for 2010 today. Over the last few years, our Finovate conferences have grown tremendously and become must-attend showcases of the best new innovations in financial and banking technology.

In 2010, we will again be organizing two great Finovate conferences. The first, FinovateSpring, will take place in San Francisco on Tuesday May 11 and the second, FinovateFall, will take place in New York City on Tuesday October 5.

Both events will showcase dozens of fintech innovations from established leading companies and hot young startups via our special demo-only (no slides allowed) format. Every company selected to demo at the events gets 7 minutes on stage to show their latest and greatest to the entire audience plus a plug-and-play demo booth during the intimate networking sessions to connect one-on-one with the attendees. The powerful blend of a ton of high-quality demos and top-notch networking in a single day that has won rave reviews year after year from both participating companies and attendees is back!

In 2009, the high-quality audiences of financial execs, press, bloggers, analysts, VCs and entrepreneurs at both conferences grew 20% and in 2010 we expect the events to be even bigger and better.

If you’re interested in doing a demo at one of the 2010 events, please email me today at eric@netbanker.com for more details. The application window for the spring event is now open and will close at the end of February (there are advantages to applying early).

P.S. Tickets for both events are on sale now at www.finovate.com. Register today to lock in your spot and the super early bird price!
