Written by Deborah Merkin | 10/19/2015

 

Money20/20 is the largest global event focused on payments and financial services innovation for connected commerce at the intersection of mobile, retail, marketing services, data and technology. 



The Audience

The GiftCard Partners team is no stranger to Money2020. This year will be our 4th year attending since the show launched in 2012, and we're not the only ones coming back for more. Every year the audience nearlydoubles in size.
Organizations of all shapes and sizes are set to attend the event this year. The show's audience boosts geographically diverse decision makers in the increasingly complex payments and financial services ecosystem.

The Agenda

Money20/20’s agenda includes a landscape of keynotes, panel discussions and co-produced content as well as demos, research, case studies and workshops. A variety of events will also take place throughout the show. Starting things off will be the 24 hour Money2020 Hackathon beginning on Saturday, October 24th. The competition is the world's largest FinTech hackathon. It brings together 500 of the world's most skilled developers to showcase their skills using APIs, SDKs and other tools and compete for large cash prizes. With last year's event being such a success for the startup forum, a special focus has been placed on the audience this year.

  • StartupPitch180, exclusively sponsored by Amazon, is a competition for startups to come out and pitch their ideas for solving today's most challenging fintech problems.
  • Launchpad360 allows companies to provide a 360-degree view of their leading edge innovations in, you guessed it, 360 seconds

The Speakers

While the speakers at this year's show span across the industry's diverse ecosystem, they come together with a few core commonalities. They are all global industry leaders, and DOERS, in their perspective fields, with a passion about change and challenging long-held notions about money.
