Quality. Not just quantity.

Finovate audiences are unlike those at many other fintech events where attendee numbers are padded by junior staff with limited influence on the direction of their business.

Those high numbers may look impressive, but it makes it much more challenging to find people you really want to speak with.

And if you do find someone interesting, you’ll have to compete with many others for their time and attention.

Finovate has the most senior audience in fintech. Actual decision-makers. And, uniquely for a major fintech event, over half are from banks and investors.

Your time matters. Don't waste it.

Don’t waste your time working out who the right people are for you to meet.

Come to FinovateEurope to talk with the senior-level decision-makers who can actually move the needle for you and your company.

This is how we help you connect with them.
