Last Day to Save $300 on Your FinovateFall Ticket

I love July for two reasons. First, it means that summer has finally arrived in Seattle (reminding me why I live in this beautiful city). Second, it means that we’re buried up to our eyeballs in fascinating screening calls to pick all the cool new fintech innovations that will showcased during FinovateFall.

This year, our screening process has been particularly fun because, with the newly expanded 2-day format for the fall event (October 4 & 5), we’re going to get to showcase an even broader spectrum of innovations than in the past. And with the huge number and high quality of applications we’ve received, this fall’s demo lineup is going to be great.

If you’re interested in attending the event, the deadline for Super Early-Bird Tickets is midnight on Friday, July 16 (only about 24 hours away!). Registering now will save you $300 on your ticket and reserve your spot among a rapt audience.

Just a few of the organizations that are already attending include: Citi, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase, RBC Ventures, Tower Group, USAA, Capitol One, Discover, Intuit, Wells
Fargo, AXA, IDC, CIBC, Standard Chartered, Alliant CU, Rabobank, Umpqua
Bank, Visa, Associated Press, Harris Bank, H&R
Block, TD Ameritrade, AARP, SunTrust, Microsoft, Polaris Ventures, Aite Group, Thomson Reuters, and Gartner.
 
Don’t miss out on your chance to watch the future of fintech unfold live onstage. Register today to lock in your ticket and these savings. We’ll see you in New York!

Finovate is Headed to Europe in February 2011

By Eric Mattson Posted on
Categories: FinovateEurope 2011

It’s a week for big news around our Finovate conference series. On Tuesday, we announced the expansion of FinovateFall 2010 to two days. And today, I’m thrilled to share the news that we’ll be holding the first international Finovate conference early next year in London.

feulogo.jpg

On February 1, 2011, FinovateEurope will showcase the best new innovations in banking, payments and financial technology at the historic Business Design Centre. The event, like all Finovates, will mix fast-paced demos (no slides allowed) from handpicked fintech companies with high-quality networking. It’s a potent blend that has won rave reviews from thousands of bankers, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, analysts, and press over the last several years. 

Since the first Finovate in 2007, we’ve been fortunate to host a number of innovative presenters with
European roots (Zopa, Backbase, MoBank, Wonga, etc.) and attendees
(BBVA, HSBC, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, ING Direct, etc.) at our U.S. conferences and they’ve always brought
great insights and a global perspective. A whole event focused on fintech innovation in financial capital of Europe is going to be amazing.

We’ve released a small number of special “founder” tickets with a discount of £400. Register now to get yours before they run out and lock in your spot to see the future of European (and global fintech) debut live on stage next February!

P.S. If you’re interested in potentially doing a demo of your newest fintech innovation next February in London, please email us at demo@finovate.com.

FinovateFall 2010 Expands to Two Days & Application Window Opens

By Eric Mattson Posted on
Categories: FinovateFall 2010

We’re incredibly excited to announce that FinovateFall 2010 is expanding to two days for the first time and that we’re now accepting applications to demo on stage at it. The conference will take place on October 4-5, 2010, in New York City. 

FinovateFall 2010 Logo

The conference is growing simply because there is so much financial technology innovation going on that we can’t showcase it all adequately in a single day event. 

Both days of the expanded event will feature the special Finovate format that mixes fast-paced demos (no slides allowed) of cutting-edge fintech innovations with high-quality networking. We’re not changing the powerful blend of top-notch content that has won rave reviews year after year
from both participating companies and attendees!

The fall show is the original Finovate and attracted 450 attendees last year (up 20% over 2008). Based on the current strong ticket sales of FinovateSpring, we expect the fall show to continue to grow in attendance this year as well. 

If you’re interested in locking in your spot for FinovateFall, we’ve released a limited number of “pre-sale” tickets that will enable you to save $400 off the ticket price (register here) but only through the end of May (or until they sell out). 

If you’re interested in doing a demo of your latest fintech innovation on stage at FinovateFall, please email us at demo@finovate.com. The application window for the fall event is now open and will close on July 15 (there are advantages to applying early).

Welcome to Guardian Analytics, a new NetBanker.com Sponsor

Categories: About Netbanker, Guardian Analytics

Guardian Analytics Low-Res Logo.jpg

We’re pleased to welcome Guardian Analytics as a new sponsor of NetBanker.

Guardian Analytics is, in its own words, an “online banking security technology leader in the prevention of online
account fraud, providing real-time risk management solutions that
protect online channels.”

Or, to echo their simpler terms, they’re “creating online trust.”

The company’s technology “supports the end-to-end online risk management process with
rich analytics and behavior-based modeling.”

Guardian Analytics is promoting the results of their 2010 Business Banking Trust Study, which was conducted in partnership with the Ponemon Institute. The study indicates that banks have a new troubled asset – their customers.

The study focuses on:

  • the pervasiveness of business banking fraud
  • where security, communication and trust are breaking down
  • why customers are firing their institutions following a fraud attack.

Download your copy of the results now.

In addition to Guardian Analytics, we’ll also be revealing two additional sponsors for the blog. With these great new additions (and a few other in the pipeline after them), we’re actually sold out through mid-year. If you’re interested in sponsoring the blog at some point in the second half of 2010, please email me for more details.
