BBVA’s Shamir Karkal and Diego Blanco presentied the bank’s API Market

We had so much fun last week at FinDEVr Silicon Valley in Santa Clara that we could do it all over again this week!

Presenting companies brought their A-Games, showing off their tech in unique and thought-provoking ways. And with presentations on two stages at once, we saw double the innovation over the course of the two-day show. Videos of the live presentations will be available in a few weeks on FinDEVr.com. For now, here are a handful of pictures:

The Twitter conversation was unlike any we’ve seen at FinDEVr in the past. Check out our Techs on Twitter post, as well as other media coverage from the October 18 & 19 show:

And we may take fintech seriously, but we’re also pretty serious about having a good time. Foosball, corn hole, and giant Jenga were among the favorite games at the event. Here’s @miss__Haley beating me at a game.

Once again, thanks to all who blogged, tweeted, and attended to make this event a success. We’ll see you in New York in the spring of 2017!

We had a blast yesterday at FinDEVr Silicon Valley here in Santa Clara! We saw dozens of presentations showing off cutting edge fintech and we’re ready for more.

Today’s registration opens at 9:00 a.m. continental breakfast, so grab a coffee and prepare for the day. If still you need a ticket, day-2 tickets are available at the registration desk or online.

Both tracks of presentations begin at 10:00 a.m. Here’s today’s lineup:

We’re back! After taking FinDEVr on the road for a very successful inaugural New York show this spring, our fintech developers conference has returned to the Left Coast for two days of APIs, SDKs, and enough case studies, integrations, and code to choke a Python (see what I did there?). If you haven’t picked up your tickets yet, there’s still time to swing by our registration page and save your spot.

FinDEVr Silicon Valley 2016 begins Tuesday morning with registration at 9:00 a.m. and the first pair of presentations starting at 10:05 a.m. Our dual-track event continues into the afternoon, with the final pair of presentations beginning at 3:25 p.m., followed by an hour-long networking session with open bar and appetizers lasting until 4:30 p.m. For more information, check our event agenda and schedule.

So what else do you need to know about getting your FinDEVr experience off to a great start? Here are a few last-minute details:

What? FinDEVr Silicon Valley 2016, a conference for fintech developers, CTOs, and technologists

When? Tuesday and Wednesday, 18/19 October, 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Where? Santa Clara Convention Center; 5001 Great American Parkway, Santa Clara, CA 95054

Why? Because from the blockchain and chatbot technology to artificial intelligence and machine learning, the innovations in fintech are among the most ambitious in all of technology. Not only that, but fintech innovations are built for real-world use by everyone from soccer moms and dads to corporate treasurers and data scientists.

How (to make the most of your FinDEVr experience)? Once you’ve got your ticket, the first thing to do is to let the FinDEVr world you’re coming via our event app on Bizzabo. Just download the app (iOS or Android), search for “Finovate,” and register using the same email information used when you bought your ticket. And that’s it—you’ve just joined FinDEVr’s community on Bizzabo!

In addition, you can follow all of the action in both tracks by following us @FinDEVr.

Our developer show that’s more than a year in the making, FinDEVr Silicon Valley, is just one day away and there’s a lot to be excited about. Aside from watching dozens of companies show off the tools and code they’ve built, we’ll have plenty of networking breaks full of opportunities. We’ve added some fun twists this year; expect to make connections during a game of foosball or chat over a latte from the espresso cart or a beer from the bar. There’s still time to get in on the action, so register today and don’t miss out.

And while there will be plenty of fun, it’s the content we’re really looking forward to. Check out this word-cloud for an overview of what you can expect to see on stage over the course of the two-day event:
