Can’t make it to FinovateSpring? Then don’t miss out on FinovateFall this September in NYC!

Finovate2011_low.png

In less than four weeks, dozens of leading fintech companies will take the stage at FinovateSpring in San Francisco to demo their latest innovations to a packed audience of companies like Wells Fargo, PayPal, Time Inc., SunTrust, Bank of America, H&R Block, Ally Bank, Intuit, Yahoo, Citi, Jack Henry, Bank of Montreal, Bain Capital and Visa.

While we are incredibly excited about that show (it’s shaping up to be the biggest Finovate ever, and we still have a few tickets remaining), we would be doing you a disservice if we didn’t point out that the FinovateFall pre-sale ticket price of only $995 (a savings of $400) will expire this Friday (less than 48 hours from now).

So, if you’re unable to join us in San Francisco in May or simply want a great deal on FinovateFall, I highly encourage you to lock in your seat and your savings of $400 for the fall event in Manhattan. We’ve moved to a great new location since we sold out the old location three weeks ahead of the event last year and expect to pack the new space with awesome debuts of the best new fintech innovations as well as a high-quality audience of financial & bank executives, venture capitalists, press, industry analysts and entrepreneurs. We hope to see you there!
