FinovateFall 2011 Best of Show Winners Named

Fall2011_BOS Logo.jpg

Wow, what a brilliant two days! Lots of new technology, creative twists on the state-of-the-art, and things that will someday be mainstream. As usual, at the end of each day the audience voted on their three favorite demos. Nine shiners were crowned Best of Show (see note for methodology).

FinovateFall 2011 Best of Show winners (in alphabetical order):

We’ll have videos of all 63 demos posted at Finovate as fast as possible (probably 2 weeks out). 

Thanks to everyone who participated. I know it’s a cliche, but we couldn’t have done it without you!

——————————

Notes on methodology: 
1. Only audience members NOT associated with demoing companies were eligible to vote. Finovate employees did not vote.    
2. Attendees were encouraged to note their favorites as the day progressed and to choose just three favorites from the demos of that day. Ballots were turned in at the end of the last demo session each day.  
3. The exact written instructions given to attendees: “Please rate (the companies) on the basis of demo quality and potential impact of the innovation demoed. Note: Ballots with more than three companies circled will not be counted.”  
4. The nine companies (see #5) appearing on the highest percentage of submitted ballots were named Best of Show. 
5. In general, we aim to highlight the top 10% of demos as Best of Show. In this case, we had a three-way tie for 7th place, so we ended up awarding 9.

Finovate Fall Kicks Off Tuesday, Sep. 20

Join FinovateFall’s Amazing Audience by August 12th and Lock in the Early-Bird Savings!

Finovate2011_low.png

Over the last 5 years of organizing FinovateFall, we’ve been told two things again and again by attendees. The first is that they love the event’s fast-paced, demo-only format for showcasing new innovations (i.e. slides suck). The second is what really makes the event a “must attend” is the chance to network with the other attendees. 

From the very beginning, Finovate conferences have attracted a high-impact blend of fintech entrepreneurs, banking and finance execs, industry analysts, venture capitalists, major press, financial bloggers, and tech pundits. The show this fall in Manhattan promises to deliver that same high-quality mixture again in record-setting numbers. We’re on track to have the largest Finovate event ever in NYC — well above last year’s crowd of 650.

Get Your FinovateFall Ticket by Friday June 24 to Lock in Your Seat (and Save $200!)

Finovate2011_low.png

Innovative. Inspiring. Fascinating.

Whatever your preferred descriptor, the scores of companies that have submitted applications to demo their latest and greatest at FinovateFall (September 20-21 in NYC) can live up to it.

They’re innovating in everything from biometric security to mobile apps to online lending to artificial intelligence to the “gamification” of financial education and much more. Right now, we’re sorting through the thick stack of applications to fill FinovateFall‘s two days with fintech’s best new ideas for your education and enjoyment.

Last year, the fall conference sold out weeks in advance so be sure to get your ticket now to lock in your seat (and the early-bird price) to see these exciting demos of new technology and connect with hundreds of leading financial executives, venture capitalists, industry analysts, reporters and technology entrepreneurs.

Register before midnight on Friday June 24th to save $200 off the list price and reserve your seat. We’ll see you in September!

FinovateFall: Last Chance to Save $300 on Sep. 20-21 Event

image Thanks to everyone who made FinovateSpring a success just a week ago (my Twitter transcript here). But innovation doesn’t stand still, so we are already collecting applications and selling tickets for FinovateFall in New York City.

In fact, if you want to save on your fall ticket, register by the end of the day Friday (May 20) to receive $300 off regular ticket prices. Based on early results, it could be the biggest Finovate yet.

Last year, the conference expanded to two days (selling out 3 weeks in advance) and the audience loved it. Once again, each day will be packed with our unique blend of short, fast-paced onstage demos (no slides allowed) and intimate networking time with top executives from the demoing companies.  With each company receiving just 7 minutes onstage, FinovateFall is the only place to see dozens of fintech innovations in such a short period of time.

So make sure you are part of the excitement at the fifth annual NYC Finovate on Sep. 20 & 21, and save $300, by registering today!
