1600!

It's official: FinovateFall 2016 is our biggest event to date, eight times the size of our first Finovate conference back in 2007. Thanks to everyone who has made it possible. And with our developers' event FinDEVr Silicon Valley just over a month away, and the return of FinovateAsia coming up in November, there is still much innovation to come.

Our first day of FinovateFall 2016 on Thursday showed how technology can leverage even the most old-fashioned of savings strategies into truly, behaviorally savvy PFM; how a few lines of code can turn abandonment into omnichannel engagement; and much, much more. Relive it all when free videos of every demo are released later this month.

All this just makes us that much more excited for what's in store for the final day of our annual fall event. So without further ado, here's the lineup for Day Two.

To steal a line from the late, great Seattle Mariners play-by-play announcer, Dave Niehaus: "Bring out the rye bread and mustard, grandma! It's Grand Salami time!"

This year, for the first time, FinovateEurope, FinovateSpring, and FinovateFall have all surpassed the "1,500+ tickets sold" milestone. To reach this point—coming at the same time we celebrate our tenth anniversary—is truly something special, and we couldn't have done it without you. So consider this a sincere "Thank You!" from the bottom of our fintech-loving hearts.

It's rehearsal day here at FinovateFall 2016. And in the ballroom of the New York Hilton Midtown, presenters for this week's conference have been checking mics, testing laptops, and practicing opening lines in preparation for our upcoming two-day event. To help you get ready for the show, here are a few last-minutes tips and reminders.

Be a part of it—with Bizzabo!

Every time we build a Finovate presenter headquarters map, we are reminded of how geographically diverse fintech innovation has become. For all the talent gathered in places such as the Bay Area, New York, and London, our map encourages us to keep in mind less talked-about locales—like Utah, for example, where multiple Best of Show winner MX and Finovate newcomer ProActive are both making personal finance technologies for the 21st century. And it's not just the Mountain West. Three companies scheduled to demonstrate their latest technologies live on the Finovate stage this week hail from Texas, two from Florida, and five from the Great Lakes region of Wisconsin and Michigan.

Beyond the United States, familiar international fintech powerhouses like Israel and Canada (eight presenters from the Great White North alone!) are sharing space with Nigeria and Cyprus, countries that are relative newcomers to the global fintech scene. And with our…
