Looking Forward to Fintech this Fall

Looking Forward to Fintech this Fall

Finovate events have always been celebrations. Celebrations of innovation, celebrations of technology, celebrations of industry. But this spring was not a time for celebration, and our thoughts are with every single person and company impacted throughout the community.

As heard from our followers and in news recently, we are turning a corner and seeing the light. The fall season has always been a big time for product launches, and these will be more important now than ever as companies reemerge. And that’s something to celebrate.  

This fall for the first time, Finovate hits both coasts: FinovateFall in September in New York and FinovateWest (formerly FinovateSpring) in November in San Francisco. And we’re accepting applications from companies interested in demoing their technology at each.

Showcasing products and solutions – not just talking about them – is the best way to do business. It allows 1,000+ potential buyers, partners and investors to see how your technology works and how it can benefit them. Not convinced? Hear from some of our alums:

It’s one of the leading fintech conferences around the world, so there’s no better place to launch a product. With any conference, it’s about the return on investment — you never know if you’ll meet one person of five, but we’ve already met 10 potential partners that I’m really excited to work with.

Dana Budzyn, CEO & Founder, UBDI

It’s been successful here! We’ve already had around 30 to 40 people visit our booth and 15 requests from people saying, “Can you come and show us your technology?”

Ned Phillips, CEO & Founder, Bambu

I think we’ll be here every year – we met 90% of our clients at Finovate. We meet our clients; we meet our prospects. If you’re a bank or fintech and want to know about the trends and get a sneak peek into the future, this is the place.

Uday Akkaraju, CEO, Bond.AI

Finovate is the best place for our startup to get exposure to potential clients and investors, all under one roof!

Emil Tarazi, Chief Data Scientist & Founder, ETFLogic

Finovate is a great way to meet the right people at the right organizations! It was really exciting to have them approach us after seeing our demonstration on stage!

Mark Friedenthal, CEO & Founder, Tolerisk

Past demos have included technology focused on customer experience, regtech, insurtech, proptech, healthtech, wealthtech, security, identity, biometrics, blockchain, crypto, investment, onboarding, open banking, digital banking, lending, payments, and more.

Demoing companies are at the core of the conference series, which is designed to give them the best return on their demo investment with a 360 degree approach:

Moving Home: FinovateSpring Returns to San Francisco

Moving Home: FinovateSpring Returns to San Francisco

Like many millennials, Finovate’s west coast conference is moving back home. San Francisco is FinovateSpring’s birthplace, where it tested limits in infancy and navigated angsty adolescent years. Only after maturing and outgrowing its room, did FinovateSpring move out. But San Francisco has always been home.

Now considered the flagship Finovate format, the conference agenda on May 7-11 will include an exploration of artificial intelligence and customer service on the summit day, two demo days with 60+ financial services products, and a final day to bring everything together with a series of keynotes, panels and sessions.

Tickets for the summit day (May 7) and the main conference (May 8-11) are on sale at early-bird rates. And if you would like to enhance your FinovateSpring experience beyond simply attending, there are a few ways to get involved (see details below). In whatever way, we hope you’ll join us for our homecoming!

Demoing

Companies working on new technology in investment, insurance, compliance, customer experience, regtech, insurtech, wealthtech, security, identity, biometrics, blockchain, crypto, onboarding, open banking, digital banking, lending and payments should apply to demo. Don’t see your fintech’s concentration area on the list? Even better!

Showcasing your latest innovation is the best way to reach the greatest number of people who mean the most to your business in the least amount of time. It’s essentially a sales demo, press conference, analyst briefing, trade show, and business development meeting in just a few days. And unlike other events, our 360 degree approach means attendees vie for demoing companies’ attention, not the other way around.

The deadline to apply to demo is on Friday, February 1. More information is available on the event website and you can reach us at [email protected].

Sponsoring & Speaking

Sponsoring and speaking are terrific ways to raise your profile and showcase your thought leadership. The sponsorship team provides flexible and tailored solutions to maximize your time at the conference and ensure you meet your business goals. They routinely work with a variety of businesses, including banks and credit union, consulting companies, VCs and investment firms, educational institutions, law firms, and tech companies.

Finovate Heads East this Fall

Finovate Heads East this Fall

For the first time, Finovate heads east for three events this fall. Each event features a unique agenda focusing on regional financial services trends and technology, plus insights and analysis of fintech on a global scale.

With FinovateFall less than a month away, the complete roster of 80+ demoing organizations, including stealth companies, is now available online. With the amount of interest in AI right now, you can expect to see many products and services focusing on chatbots, virtual agents, and business intelligence on stage. 

The FinovateAsia demo lineup has recently grown to include two stealth companies and other exciting additions. See a preview of their efforts here.

Additional demoers and speakers will be announced throughout September. In the meantime, check out key speakers from Alipay, WeLab, ANZ, Startupbootcamp and more.

This week we’re also happy to announce the first wave of demoers for the launch of FinovateAfrica. From insurance coverage for crops using satellite imagery to a move for open banking, these companies illustrate the unique fintech emerging from Africa to address equally unique needs.

More information on these fall events and how to get involved is available at Finovate.com.
