Fantastic content throughout the three days, one of our favorites was the Ken Hughes keynote about the customer experience ? 65+ demos from growing fintechs and customers of fintechs.

The hustle of NYC is rubbing off on me! Day 1 was a whirlwind ??—from catching demos and exploring the expo hall at Finovate to joining an inspiring Fintech Is Femme “Creator Summit” event at Rise, created by Barclays, and wrapping up with the exciting rooftop launch party for Trybe a new women-focused conference hitting Vegas in 2025 where women connect, collaborate, and get business done! ?? Of course, I had a lot of conversations with folks excited about the work we are doing at the Georgia Fintech Academy. I often heard….“I wish we had one of those when I was in college”. ?????? ?? There’s so much energy in this city, and I’m loving every minute catching time with old and new friends. Can’t wait to see what Day 2 brings! #NYCHustle #Fintech #WomenInFintech #Networking #Innovation #Trybe2025 Hillery Champagne Grant Wainscott Sanjay Ahuja Amanda Estiverne-Colas Kathryn Vazquez Kmiotek Linda Kugblenu Kristin Slink Nicole Casperson Caroline Farley Ariel Serber Shadè Alcine Amyn Sadruddin
