You Had the Questions, We Have the Answers

While FinovateFall Digital attendees hunted for services and solutions to meet the needs of their firms’ biggest challenges, they tracked down Scavenger Hunt clues at the event, too! 

Attendees earned points by watching content, meeting with other attendees, exploring the platform, and finding buried easter eggs in the event map.
