With 2011 put to rest, the Finovate team has returned to the office excited to make FinovateEurope 2012 in February our biggest and best European event ever.

Over the holidays we received a number of inquiries about whether it was still possible to get an early-bird ticket to the event. Given that, we’ve decided to extend our early-bird ticket deadline until this Friday (January 6th) so that you can lock in your spot at the early-bird rate.

Tickets for the event have been selling strongly and we expect a record crowd on February 7th in London. Here is a small sample of the organizations that have already registered to attend:

If you want to guarantee your chance to watch the future of European finance and banking technology debut in London in February, please register soon. As I mentioned above, tickets for the event are selling quickly — well ahead of last year’s pace when we sold out weeks ahead of the conference. In addition, with the extended deadline, if you register by Friday January 6th then you’ll get the affordable early-bird price on your ticket.

With the holiday break fast approaching, we wanted to remind you to register for FinovateEurope 2012 before the early-bird ticket deadline on this Friday, December 23rd (and before you check out for some well-deserved relaxation at year-end).  

Despite the uncertainty of the last several months, tickets for our second annual showcase of the cutting-edge European fintech innovations have been selling strongly (well ahead of last year’s pace that led to our first sell-out event).

Here is a small sample of the organizations already registered to attend: ABN Amro, Alfabank, Balderton, Barclays, BN Bank, BNP Paribas, Capital One, Celent, DAB Bank, EFMA, Gartner, Greylock, ING, La Poste, Liberty Bank, Microsoft, MorningStar, JP Morgan, PostFinance, Rabobank, Skandia, Standard Chartered, and Yahoo.

Next February in London, the executives from these organizations will get to see over three dozen new innovations in financial and banking technology debut (check out our recent “sneak peak” blog posts on the Finovate blog — post #1, post #2 — to whet your appetite). 

If you’re interested in joining this top-quality audience and watching the future of global fintech via our signature demo-only format, then please grab your ticket at the early-bird rate today. Hopefully we’ll see you in London and, in the meantime, we’ll simply wish you happy holidays!

FinovateEurope 2012 is just over two months away and it is shaping up to be a great conference. The quality and number of applications we received from companies seeking to debut their latest fintech innovations at the event was truly impressive. That quality meant hard choices for us during the selection process but it also means an amazing showcase of new ideas in European financial technology for the audience.

On February 7th next year, the following companies will take the stage
in London to demo their latest and greatest innovations (we’ll also be
revealing a couple of “stealth” additions to this list closer to the
event):

If you’d lock in your spot to watch the future of financial and banking technology debut in London next February, please register soon.

As I watch the discussion of the EU’s (and the world’s) financial state in the media these days, I can’t help but see tremendous entrepreneurial opportunities. From helping individuals to manage their money more confidently to helping banks to find new revenue streams to helping small businesses with alternative lending options and much more, there has never been a better time to be innovating in financial technology.

As I write this, our team is hard at work on our next showcase of the companies that are on the cutting-edge of those opportunities — FinovateEurope 2012 — which will take place February 7th in London. Over the last two weeks, we’ve begun screening the applicants that want to demo their latest fintech innovations at the event and it’s shaping up to be an incredible roster of companies.

If you’d like join us in London and watch the future of financial and banking technology debut on stage via our fast-paced demo-only format, please get your ticket soon. Tickets for the event are selling strongly — well ahead of last year’s pace when we sold out weeks ahead of the conference — and registering now is the only way to guarantee your spot and the affordable super early-bird ticket price!
