Full Presenter Lineup for FinovateFall 2012 Finally Revealed

By Eric Mattson Posted on August 28, 2012
Categories: FinovateFall 2012

One of the best and worst things about running conferences focused on debuting new technology is that we get a sneak peak of all the innovations months in advance. It is awesome because we get to see them before anyone else. And it sucks because we have to keep our mouths shut about them until the show arrives.

For today, at least, we can reveal the full lineup of the 64 companies that will be doing demos at FinovateFall 2012 including all the companies that had been staying in stealth mode until now.

Plus, the companies have finally allowed us to begin releasing some “teaser” summaries of what they’ll be demoing — sneak peek #1, sneak peek #2, and sneak peek #3 — over on the Finovate blog.

These 64 companies are going to be demonstrating great new innovations in everything fintech — from PFM to security, from crowdfunding to mobile payments, and much more.

If you’re interested in joining the top-notch audience to watch the future of fintech unfold live, tickets are selling fast and on pace towards an attendance record for our fall conference. Get your ticket soon to lock in your seat before it is too late. We’ll see you in New York in September (or Singapore in November)!
