A mighty force of credit union executives headed to the Big Apple to review the best and brightest new technology ideas in the financial marketplace. Welcome to Finovate 2011.
This event happens two times per year in the states and a cameo appearance in London. With over 60 presenters in two days, 7 minutes never felt so coveted for presentation time.
