From software architects and engineers to CTOs and CEOs, builders from around the country—and from more than a few far-flung corners of the world, as well—are getting ready for the premier event for fintech developers: FinDEVr 2015 San Francisco.

The two-day conference begins Tuesday, 6 October, and continues through Wednesday. We have 64 innovative fintech companies specializing in a range of tools, APIs, SDKs, and other resources to help builders and developers take their innovations to the next level.

And whether it’s adding new payment functionality, faster and more efficient ways to access critical data, better and more sophisticated fraud detection and prevention, or even tips on leveraging the blockchain, if developers need it, there’s a good chance the builders of FinDEVr 2015 have got it.

We’re less than 24 hours away from the opening presentation, but there’s still time to pick up your ticket and save your spot. Stop by our registration desk at the venue or get your ticket online, and join us.

Here are a few need-to-knows for the conference.

Twas the Sunday before FinDEVr 2015, but for those of us who were here at the inaugural FinDEVr event last year, it almost feels as if we never left.

Sure, the deep red of the Oracle OpenWorld conference a year ago has been replaced by the bright orange of San Francisco Giants fans lining the streets for the final few games of the baseball season. But everything we love about our trips to the Bay Area, including its reputation as a great place for technology folks to get together and talk shop, is exactly as we remember it.

Speaking of technology folks getting together, FinDEVr 2015 starts this week and tickets are still on sale. Stop by our registration page today and save your spot for 6/7 October for the premier event for fintech developers, software architects, CTOs, and builders of all kinds.
