There are plenty of reasons why you should make the trip to Silicon Valley for our upcoming FinDEVr developer’s conference in two weeks (tickets are still available!). Now, courtesy of BBVA, there’s a reason to come a day or two early.
Sponsored by BBVA, Fintech University is opening its doors on October 17th, just a day before FinDEVr Silicon Valley begins. Fintech University is an interactive event with keynotes and workshops led by top fintech entrepreneurs. The goal is to provide startups with the insights, advice, and networking opportunities that will help them grow and thrive. Admission on Monday the 17th is free, although registration is required due to limited seating.
In addition to BBVA executives Shamir Karkal and Héctor Arias, Finovate/FinDEVr alums are also well represented, including CEOs, founders, and presidents such as:
- Farhan Ahmad, CEO/founder, Bento for Business (F15)
- Johnny Ayers, co-founder, Socure (F15)
- Fred Ehrsam, co-founder, Coinbase (F14)
- Chris Larsen, CEO/co-founder, Ripple (F13)
- Adam Ludwin, CEO/co-founder, Chain (FD15)
- Sasha Orloff, CEO/co-founder, LendUp (F14)
- Ron Suber, president, Prosper Marketplace (F09)
- Jorge Sun, CEO/co-founder, LendingFront (F16)
The event will be held at the Bently Reserve in San Francisco from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. And because BBVA will be presenting at FinDEVr Silicon Valley later that week, everyone who registers for Fintech University on Monday will receive a 20% discount off the regular admission price to FinDEVr. It’s like being paid $200 to go to college!
Between FinDEVr Silicon Valley and Fintech University, the week promises to be an ideal opportunity to learn and network in the Bay Area. So join us Monday the 17th at Bently Reserve for Fintech University and Tuesday and Wednesday the 18th and 19th at the Santa Clara Convention Center for FinDEVr Silicon Valley.
