Finovate 07: great networking with the hottest banking 2.0 companies

Finovate_lg

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.
