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 and bank executives, venture capitalists, press, industry analysts and entrepreneurs. We hope to see you there!

FinovateFall 2011 is sponsored by: The Bancorp, Tier One Partners, and the law firm of CB&S.

FinovateFall 2011 is partners with: BankInnovation.net, BankerStuff, CardWeb, Filene Research Institute, Finance on WindowsPYMNTS.com, Mercator Advisory Group and Mobile-Financial.com.

Announcing FinovateFall 2011 (September 20 & 21 in NYC) — Apply to Demo Your Latest Fintech Innovation

Finovate2011_low.png

I’m pleased to announce that FinovateFall 2011 will take place on September 20 & 21 in New York City. The show will be our fifth annual Finovate in Manhattan and we’re incredibly excited to be back.

Last year, the conference featured a new two-day duration with 56 demos and the audience loved it so we’re keeping it this year. Sadly, because the 2010 show’s attendance grew more than 50%, we sold out our old space several weeks ahead of time. So, this year, I’m thrilled to announce that we’re moving to a new space. In fact, we’re renting a pier. Yes, an entire pier (Pier 92 to be specific) worth of space so you can come see the best new innovations in financial and banking technology in comfort along with hundreds of other leading senior executives, venture capitalists, industry analysts, major press and technology entrepreneurs.

There is a tremendous amount of innovation happening in fintech right now (including dozens of new ideas that will debut at FinovateSpring in San Francisco in just a few weeks), and the fall show is already shaping up to feature an array of exciting, fast-paced 7-minute demos (no slides allowed!) on stage.

If you’re a startup, established company, or financial institution innovating in financial or banking technology, we’d love to have you apply to demo your latest and greatest at the conference. To get more details, please email us at demo@finovate.com.

If you’re interested in watching the future of financial and banking technology unfold live on stage at this must-attend event then get your pre-sale ticket today for FinovateFall 2011 and save $400 off the list price. Tickets have already started to sell before this formal announcement and we don’t want you to miss out! We’ll see you in September!
