After every Finovate, it’s always fun to re-visit the event through the insight and wit of our community of passionate fintech professionals on Twitter. And FinovateFall 2015 is no different.
Surprise and excite our savvy family of more than 23,000 followers on Twitter with your demo, and the accolades will come early and often. On the other hand, woe unto the unfortunate presenter who fails to grab the audience’s attention within the first 60 to 90 seconds.
Fair, but firm. Tough, but tolerant of the occasional gaffe or mid-demo technology hiccup. Often irreverent, but always ready to give a tip of the hat to true innovation, that’s our crowd. And the truth is, our Finovate conferences just wouldn’t be the same without ’em.
So let’s take a look at some of the more creative, colorful, and consequential tweets of the FinovateFall 2015 week that was. And be sure to make us a part of your Twitter community by following us @finovate.
