How have the major secular trends in fintech been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis?

In his afternoon presentation at FinovateWest Digital, November 23 through 25, Jacob Jegher, President of Javelin Strategy and Research, will take a close look at which innovations in fintech are moving the needle in terms of boosting customer engagement, creating efficiencies, and helping financial institutions and financial service providers grow revenues.

Formerly Vice President of Global Solution Marketing and Head of Analyst Relations at FIS and, before that, serving for more than a decade as Research Director for Celent, Jegher brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in the banking technology industry. In addition to being widely cited in both mainstream and financial media – including The Wall Street Journal, The Globe and Mail, Bloomberg, and The New York Times – Jegher is a judge and coach at the Innotribe Startup Challenge.

“There are so many different pieces that (fintechs and financial institutions) have to watch out for in changing times,” Jegher told Finovate VP Greg Palmer during the Finovate Podcast earlier this year. “Pitfalls today include: how do you manage your budget and your cash flow associated with investment? What are you going to decide to keep pushing the envelope on and what’s going to get cut back? It’s just a realistic point of view given what’s taking place with company budgets – whether they are fintechs or financial institutions.”

As Finovate continues to make the case that “The Future of Finance is Digital”, we also strive to find new ways to make it easier for fintech’s most promising entrepreneurs – and the VCs, banks, and fellow fintechs that love them – to network and make meaningful connections at our in-person and all-digital events.

This November at our upcoming all-digital fintech conference, FinovateWest Digital, November 23 through 25, we will feature our latest networking innovation: hosted breakout sessions that give you up close and personal access to the leaders and founders of our demoing companies.

Led by our analysts and staff, FinovateWest Digital’s Demo Breakout Sessions will be held on all three days of the conference, with two sessions on Monday and Tuesday, and one session on Wednesday. These sessions will feature our demoing companies, in conversation with our analysts, who will be on hand to facilitate a lively Q&A with our attendees. The breakout sessions will begin immediately after the demo sessions, and offer unprecedented access to the men and women behind our demoing companies.

Who are the customers whose preferences are driving innovation in customer experience? What are the pain points fintechs are solving for their partners? What is it like to launch a fintech startup in the current environment of COVID-19 and digital transformation?
