Halfway through rehearsal day on Monday, we learned that the attendance for FinovateSpring 2015 was nearing the 1,400 mark. And the best news about that is that we’re still happy to save a spot for you and yours, just visit our registration page before it’s too late.

Since rehearsal day is the perfect time to make sure everything is just right when the lights go up Tuesday morning, here are a few tips and reminders to help you make the most of your Finovate experience, wherever you may be enjoying it.

Bizzabo You!

Finovate events are known for many things, and high-caliber networking is one of them. So we are again turning to the social networking app, Bizzabo, to help attendees make the most of their time at the show. Bizzabo makes it easy for attendees to reach out and network with each other before, during, and after the show. It is also a great way to learn more about the presenting companies, the event’s sponsors and partners, and the event itself.

Registered attendees can download the Bizzabo app (iOS here, Android here). You can also access Bizzabo via your desktop at this link. If you’re new to Bizzabo, you can sign up using your LinkedIn credentials or set up an account using the same email address you used when registering for Finovate, as well as a password.

After you’ve downloaded the app, search for “Finovate” then select “Join” and you’re set.

If you have any difficulties signing in, please email us at spring@finovate.com.
