Finovate 2007
was a huge success: it was well attended, the lineup was impressive, and the
speakers made themselves available during the networking sessions. Well done Jim!
I invite you to check William Azaroff's
live coverage of the event (Part
1 & Part
2) on NetBanker as well as Brandon McGee's live coverage on the Mobile Money and Banking blog.
Excellent networking opportunity
The 7-minutes sessions work out nicely. Another key benefit of attending
Finovate was the opportunity to meet with the senior executives of some of the
hottest web
2.0 companies, as well as my peers, industry experts, and well-known
bloggers. I managed to meet over 40 people.
