We’re less than 24 hours away from the first Finovate event of the year, FinovateEurope 2013.

And from fintech veterans to the latest innovators on the block, the diversity of new apps, toolkits, services, and solutions on display here at dress rehearsal is nothing short of impressive.

What are we seeing so far? More mobile payment and banking strategies than you can shake a dongle at, advances in authentication and gamification, creative ways to help banks better understand and serve their customers and much more.  

We hope you’ll be joining us for what promises to be two great days of presentations and demos of the best in financial technology. If you can’t be with us here in London, then be sure to follow us on Twitter @Finovate, or via our Live Blog at finovate.com starting bright and early Tuesday morning at 9:00 AM London time.
