We’ve spoken at, attended, and covered hundreds of banking and technology events during the past 20 years. And we loved them all.

But some are better than others… much better. You know when you’ve been to a good event. You can’t stop thinking about it on the flight home. And when you are back in the office, you talk about it, update colleagues, pass on leads and ponder new insights. And if it was a truly great event, you are already looking forward to the next year.

In 2007, we set about to make the most memorable event in financial services technology. We rounded up 20 of the coolest companies including Mint (acquired by Intuit in 2009 for $170 million), Lending Club (IPO in 2014, valued at more than $7 billion), and Prosper (still private, but valued at more than $1 billion). And as they say, the rest is history.

The company launched its first conference series focused on financial & banking technology innovation in 2007. Finovate debuted in New York, added a Bay Area event in 2008, and expanded internationally to London in 2011, Asia in 2012 and Dubai and Cape Town in 2018. In 2014, a second conference series focusing on fintech developers launched on the West Coast. FinDEVr added an East Coast event in 2016 and expanded internationally to London in 2017.

For close to a decade, the events have attracted tens of thousands of attendees who have watched more than 2,000 demos & presentations from hundreds of companies (all available here and covered here).
