Attendees | FinovateSpring fintech event

Connect with senior bankers, investors and fintech leaders

Finovate is the only major fintech event that unlocks access to an truly executive-level audience. We bring together the innovators leading the fintech revolution, senior decision-makers from banks and other financial institutions and top investors from VC firms looking for their next opportunity.

Over half of the attendees are from banks and investors. Most other fintech events have less than a quarter of their audience from this key group.

15 of the top 20 banks in the US (by AUM) are already registered, including all 10 of the largest FI’s in the country.

Quality. Not just quantity.

Finovate audiences are unlike those at a lot of fintech events where the apparently high attendee numbers are padded by junior staff and others 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 thousands of others for their time and attention.

Your time is precious. Don't waste it.

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

Come to FinovateSpring 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.
