Finovate 6 kicks off tomorrow with MoneyAisle stepping up to the demo plate at 8:30 AM (Pacific time) Tuesday. The event is sold out and we are looking forward to the largest ever Finovate audience, more than 500 banking and fintech execs.

For background on the 36 demoing companies, see our previous posts (logos below). You can follow the day’s announcements via our Finovate website, by following our Netbanker Twitter account, or watching the #finovate hashtag on Twitter.

The event will not be broadcast live, but we’ll have videos available on our website within two weeks.

Just one week from tomorrow, three dozen of the hottest financial tech companies come to the Finovate stage in San Francisco. We’ve already written about how tickets are almost sold out, the amazing group of attendees, the twelve main conference themes, and the original list of 32 demoing companies.

The only thing left to announce are the final four presenting companies:

• Blippy
• Gratio Capital
• Mint (Intuit)
• MPOWER Mobile

                       

Come meet the founders and top execs of these fintech leaders next week. Register here.

The final FinovateSpring lineup:

Backbase	Fiserv	Pageonce
Bill.com	FTRANS	Point of Wealth Systems
Billeo	The Garland Group	SafetyPay
Blippy	Gratio Capital	Segmint
Bobber Interactive	Ideon	Silver Tail Systems
Continuity Control	Jemstep	SmartCredit.com
Controlabill	Kabbage	TransUnion Interactive
Cortera	Liqpay.com	TSYS
Cross Commerce Media	Mint.com (Intuit)	UBank
DebtGoal	MoneyAisle	Visa
eRollover	MPOWER Mobile	Wikinvest
Expensify	oFlows	WorkLight

Finally, a thanks to our four FinovateSpring sponsors:

     

During its three-year history, Finovate has shown consistent double-digit annual growth. But not since Finovate I, in Oct. 2007, when we booked a relatively small NYC venue, have we actually run out of seats.

But with less than 50 tickets remaining, it looks like we are about to have our second sellout. The fantastic turnout, we believe, is a leading indicator that the fintech sector has turned the corner (see list of technologies on stage).

So if you still want to be part of this amazing day in San Francisco, you better move quickly and register here. This isn’t marketing hype, we really are approaching capacity.

And thanks to everyone who’s already registered (partial list below). We literally couldn’t have the event without you!

We’re incredibly excited to announce that FinovateFall 2010 is expanding to two days for the first time and that we’re now accepting applications to demo on stage at it. The conference will take place on October 4-5, 2010, in New York City. 

The conference is growing simply because there is so much financial technology innovation going on that we can’t showcase it all adequately in a single day event. 

Both days of the expanded event will feature the special Finovate format that mixes fast-paced demos (no slides allowed) of cutting-edge fintech innovations with high-quality networking. We’re not changing the powerful blend of top-notch content that has won rave reviews year after year
from both participating companies and attendees!

The fall show is the original Finovate and last year attracted 450 attendees (up 20% over 2008). Based on the current strong ticket sales of FinovateSpring, we expect the fall show to continue to grow in attendance this year as well.  

If you’re interested in locking in your spot for FinovateFall, we’ve released a limited number of “presale” tickets that will enable you to save $400 off the ticket price (register here) but only through the end of May (or until they sell out). 

If you’re interested in doing a demo of your latest fintech innovation on stage at FinovateFall, please email us at demo@finovate.com. The application window for the fall event is now open and will close on July 15 (there are advantages to applying early).

We’re incredibly pleased to announce our Finovate events for 2010 today. Over the last few years, our Finovate conferences have grown tremendously and become must-attend showcases of the best new innovations in financial and banking technology.

In 2010, we will again be organizing two great Finovate conferences. The first, FinovateSpring, will take place in San Francisco on Tuesday May 11 and the second, FinovateFall, will take place in New York City on Tuesday October 5.

Both events will showcase dozens of fintech innovations from established leading companies and hot young startups via our special demo-only (no slides allowed) format. Every company selected to demo at the events gets 7 minutes on stage to show their latest and greatest to the entire audience plus a plug-and-play demo booth during the intimate networking sessions to connect one-on-one with the attendees. The powerful blend of a ton of high-quality demos and top-notch networking in a single day that has won rave reviews year after year from both participating companies and attendees is back!

In 2009, the high-quality audiences of financial execs, press, bloggers, analysts, VCs and entrepreneurs at both conferences grew 20% and in 2010 we expect the events to be even bigger and better.

If you’re interested in doing a demo at one of the 2010 events, please email me today at eric@netbanker.com for more details. The application window for the spring event is now open and will close at the end of February (there are advantages to applying early).

P.S. Tickets for both events are on sale now at www.finovate.com. Register today to lock in your spot and the super early bird price!

I’m excited to announce that the videos of all the demos from our Finovate 2009 conference this fall are now available free online.

It was an amazing conference with a ton of great innovations showcased on stage. We hope you enjoy watching the demos in video format as much as the 450 attendees enjoyed watching them live on the day of the event.

As usual, we’ve provided all the videos in both Windows Media and QuickTime formats. We’ve also added a higher-res download version so you can watch them in bigger-screen glory. To download the bigger-screen version simply right-click on the link that says QuickTime HD (hint: it’s located under the video player) and choose “save as”.

A huge thanks for all the demoing companies (listed below alphabetically) for participating at Finovate 2009.

After a jam-packed day in NYC yesterday, the audience voted five companies Finovate2009 Best of Show.  

All Finovate attendees, except for the presenting companies themselves, rated each demo on a scale of one to six. At the end of the final demo session, the ballots were tallied and the presenters ranked based on their average score. A majority of attendees completed a ballot, so it’s a good indicator of the group consensus.

It was a tight race, but here’s how the choices played out (in alphabetic order).

        BancVue’s Kasasa national checking/savings account brand
        for community banks and credit unions  

Credit.com’s report card with letter grades to help users
make sense of the underlying data

Digital Insight (Intuit) integration of tax preparation
with online banking

Silver Tail Systems real-time security monitoring
to shut down fraud attempts immediately

Yodlee’s new FinApp store modeled after Apple’s
iPhone App Store 

 

Congratulations! And thanks to everyone who participated.  

Note: Videos of each demo will be posted to the Finovate website within a few weeks.
