Register Team Members, Customers, VIPs
New for 2020, each demo package contains six tickets discounted by 60% for your team members, customers, VIPs, etc. That's a HUGE discount!

Add tickets to your basket and then, on the next page, click on 'Have a VIP code?' in the right corner and enter your company's discount code. The ticket price will be reduced by the respective discount before you enter any personal information. If you need more than six tickets or do not know your 60% discount code, please email Oliver at oliver@finovate.com. Additionally, demo packages also contain a 20% discount for social media marketing (LinkedIn, Twitter, website, etc.). The 20% discount code is FKV2368FEUT.
VIP Guest Passes
As a demoing company, you have the chance to nominate people for VIP guest passes.
If you would like to nominate someone to join us, please note they are required to work for an end user (i.e., Bank, Insurer) and hold a C-level, Director or VP title within the relevant field of technology, innovation or digital. If your chosen prospect(s) do not fit within this criteria, we will not be able to grant a complimentary pass, but, if you feel comfortable, you can share your 60% or 20% ticket discount with them.
