Reaching the decision makers

There were a number of different elements of the Finovate Fall conference that resonated with the attendees we spoke to.

One common theme was the unparalleled opportunity to showcase innovations and connect with a highly targeted audience. Rithwik Pattikonda from CardLift emphasized how powerful the demo sessions are, allowing companies to present their products and solutions to over 200 banks simultaneously. It is indeed one of the main things that sets this conference apart given that this scale of exposure is rare.

After all, in fintech, reaching the right decision-makers is crucial for business growth. Another speaker echoed this sentiment, noting that the audience aligns almost perfectly with their target market and another appreciated how well the event was organized, especially in providing newer companies a platform to demonstrate their innovations.

For others, the diversity of participants and the event’s emphasis on technology were key highlights. Aditi Subbarao from Instabase praised the variety of people they had met, reflecting the broad mix of professionals and perspectives present at the event. The tech-first focus of Finovate was also celebrated as a “meeting of minds,” where like-minded individuals could discuss the future of finance and technology.

Networking is a key ingredient

Networking and in-person connections stood out as particularly significant. Several speakers mentioned how valuable it was to engage with colleagues, clients, and potential clients face-to-face. In today’s increasingly digital world, the opportunity for personal interaction at events like Finovate feels more important than ever. One speaker even described Finovate as “the room where it all happens,” a nod to the event’s role as a hub for meaningful conversations, new partnerships, and future-defining innovations.

It’s hard to argue with that! It’s clear to our speakers how meaningful this event is. Next up we’ll be finding out ‘If you could get an AI assistant to do anything, what would it be?’. Stay tuned for that.
