FinovateStartup09 Kicks off Today

image It promises to be a big day in the world of financial innovations as 57 companies demo new products and services at our FinovateStartup 2009 Conference. Whether you are in the auditorium or not, you can follow the Twitter, blog, and Flickr streams through our FinovateStartup Live page (see screenshot below).

The Live page will also contain the real-time webcast. There is still time to purchase access to the webcast (see note 1). You’ll also receive the 70-page PDF summarizing all 57 participants (links to companies here).

Although we’ve live-blogged in the past, we are moving most of our live coverage to Twitter. At seven minutes per demo and one minute in between, there’s really not enough time to do much of a blog post. Twitter is a much better way to keep the info flowing. I’ll be twittering under the Netbanker handle and our conference director, Eric Mattson, will broadcast under the Finovate name.

We’ll blog about the event afterwards and announce Best of Show winners. There will also be blog coverage during the day at Banktastic and others.
