The schwag has been delivered, the notebooks printed, and the lunch order is in. We are all set to welcome more than 200 bankers, tech providers, press and analysts to Mid-town Manhattan on Tuesday, Oct. 2. We sold out the main auditorium last week, but you can still grab a good seat in the overflow room by registering at our conference website.
If you'll be there in person, be prepared to network with the presenters and other attendees. For two hours after both the morning and afternoon DEMO sessions, the presenters, along with other execs from each company, will be available for one-on-one or small group discussions and demonstrations. And a special thank-you to Philip Faulkner and Amdocs for sponsoring the networking area.
If you can't make it, watch this space for liveblogging during the event from Huntington's Brandon McGee. And at our NetBanker blog, Vancity's William Azaroff will also be covering the event in person (and check out his post today on planning your first social media effort). And within a few weeks, you'll be able to watch all the DEMOs in their entirety at our FINOVATE website.
