An exclusive gathering space

An exclusive gathering space

This session is only open to community banks and a select few fintechs who support them. We’ll host this session in a breakout room away from the general Finovate audience, giving community bank executives a place where they can be open with each other, share best practices, and talk through common challenges.

Space is limited, and only community bank employees are eligible to attend. To join, reach out to billy.smith@informa.com to get yourself on the guest list.

Fintech innovators building for Community Banks

More and more fintechs are building solutions with community banks in mind, and the Community Bank Spotlight will feature 5 fintechs who are actively building solutions dedicated to that space. Every Community Bank Spotlight attendee will be able to learn more about these innovators, connect with them, and share feedback.

If you’ve ever felt like the fintech ecosystem doesn’t understand the challenges that community banks face, this is a perfect place to connect with innovators who understand what makes you unique.

What to expect on site

Exclusive networking breakfast

This will be an open session where attendees can connect with each other over coffee and breakfast, and talk about things they don’t want to share with the general Finovate audience.

Rotating fintech roundtables

Following the breakfast, we’ll invite fintechs into the room to share their solutions. Each fintech will have a very limited amount of time to introduce themselves, and then we’ll rotate them around the room, so every attendee gets to learn more about every company. Community Banks can then follow up with the fintechs who look relevant/interesting.

What else is included

While the Community Bank Spotlight is a great place to meet innovative fintechs, all Community Bank Spotlight attendees will also be able to attend all of the other aspects of FinovateSpring. With over 50 innovative demos, high-impact networking, and insightful, expert speakers, there’s much more to the show than this session itself. We’ve designed it so that you don’t have to miss the other things that make Finovate great in order to attend.
