In late May, we were very excited announce the launch of our new event series called FinDEVr which is focused on the latest tools, APIs, and platforms for fintech builders — i.e. developers, VPs of engineering, software architects and CTOs — because we were sure it was a missing piece of the innovation ecosystem.

After two months and a ton of conversations, it is clear that the event has struck a nerve with the market as the response has been tremendous and momentum has been building with every week.

We already have commitments from top-notch presenting sponsors like TD Ameritrade, Yodlee, PayPal, Xero, Avoka, FinancialApps, Cardflight, Behaviosec, Mifos Initiative, Modo Payments, and Cloud Lending — with many more to come.

In addition, tickets have been selling strongly and we’re pleased to be projecting an audience of 400-500 for the debut event in San Francisco on September 30 – October 1st. The room is going to be packed with developers and technical execs from startups as well as financial institutions like CIBC, Wells Fargo, BlackRock,
USAA, Capital One, and Western Union.

If you and/or your technical colleagues are interested in attending to learn about the latest innovations for fintech builders, tickets are on sale at the super early-bird price of $300 off through Friday July 25th. And if you’re a company with an innovative API, platform or tool for building the next generation of fintech, we’re still accepting applications to present through July 31st — please email sanfran@findevr.com for more details.

We’ll see you there!

With summer well underway, it means that fall is just around to corner. And that we’re hard at work putting together FinovateFall 2014 which will take place on September 23 & 24 in New York City. 

Last year, FinovateFall welcomed a sold-out crowd of more than 1,100 executives. This fall, based on record-setting interest (and a slightly bigger auditorium at our new venue) we are projecting the largest FinovateFall to date (and another sell out crowd) with over 1,200 fintech innovators in attendance.

In case you’re curious, here is a small sample of the great organizations already committed to attend:

If you’re interested in attending FinovateFall to watch the future of fintech unfold live on stage, tickets are now on sale at the very early-bird price but only through this Friday. Please get yours today to lock in the savings and your seat before we sell out!

After seven years of organizing successful Finovate conferences, we are very excited to be announcing the launch of a new event series called FinDEVr that we strongly believe is a missing piece of the fintech innovation ecosystem.

FinDEVr is the first event for fintech builders — the developers, VPs of engineering, software architects and CTOs — who are in the trenches on a daily basis creating the future of fintech.

Using a potent blend of fast-paced presentations and in-depth workshops, FinDEVr will showcase the latest tools, tech, APIs and platforms that are enabling the most innovative solutions in fintech to be built today.

The debut event in the series, FinDEVr San Francisco 2014, will take place at the beautiful UCSF Mission Bay Conference Center on September 30 – October 1. Additional events will take place in New York (March 2015) and London (June 2015).

We are currently accepting applications for presenters at the debut event. Please email sanfran@findevr.com for more details.

Tickets for the debut event are limited. If you’re interested in attending to see the latest innovations for fintech builders, we encourage you to register as soon as possible.

We’ll see you there!
