The Breaking Banks PowerHour – a live feed of Brett King’s Breaking Banks podcast – returned to FinovateEurope last week.

In case you missed it, here’s your chance to join Brett, J.P. Nichols, Jim Marous, and Greg Palmer as they discuss the latest trends in fintech innovation, the rise of TechFin competitors around the world, the impact of Brexit on U.K. fintech, and their favorite demos from our conference.

Today is our special FinovateEurope Summit Day. For those interested in an especially deep dive into fintech’s most critical topics, Day Four of FinovateEurope is for you. Today we focus on two issues that many believe will define the future of financial technology: the rise of artificial intelligence and the promise and potential of open banking.

Our agenda for Friday will consist of two tracks running simultaneously: our Open Banking Summit in East Mall 2, and our AI Summit – sponsored by Personetics – in East Mall 3. Be sure to check out the Day Four tab on our FinovateEurope page for more information on individual speakers for each session.

Where can you find 1,200 fintech fans, 120 fintech experts, 64 innovative fintech companies, four days of fintech demos and discussions, and one digital graffiti wall?

The answer, my friend, is not blowing in the wind. It’s right here at London’s Tobacco Dock for FinovateEurope 2019!

Today is rehearsal day, which means that our demoing companies are busy putting the finishing touches on the live demonstrations that will fill the first two days of FinovateEurope. Rehearsal day also means that we’re less than 24 hours away from the start of the show, and if you haven’t picked up your ticket yet, there’s no better time than the present to visit our registration page and save your spot.

And remember that on Day Three, FinovateEurope will transition from live fintech demos to live fintech discussion and debate. We’ll have more than 100 industry experts and professionals taking on every aspect of financial technology – from AI and the blockchain to digital transformation and open banking.

If you are an old Finovate hand who has not yet experienced this new feature of our conferences, then you are in for a real treat. Check out the Day Three agenda for yourself; there is truly something for everyone.

We shared some conference notes and need-to-knows yesterday. For a quick refresher: FinovateEurope begins Tuesday, February 12 and continues through Thursday, February 14 – with a special Summit Day on Friday, the 15th. Our venue this year is London’s Tobacco Dock, a historic facility in the city’s Docklands area of the East End. It is located on Wapping Lane, at St. Katharine’s & Wapping, London, E1W 2SF.

Registration begins at 0800 on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with Friday’s registration beginning at 0815.

Once you arrive at the venue – and grab a cup of tea or coffee and a sample of our continental breakfast – be sure to join our FinovateEurope community on our Knect3655 event app. Download the app from your preferred App Store, then search for “FinovateEurope” to access features like Sli.do, our audience participation solution; our Best of Show voting dashboard; our networking platform Brella; our attendees list; conference agenda and much more.

If you have any questions, including any challenges working with the app, please send us an email at info@finovate.com, and we’ll be happy to help.

In the meanwhile, our demoing companies have a few more practice runs to go before rehearsal day is done. We hope you’ll join us this week. Travel safe – and we’ll see you at the dock!
