FinTech magazine was a media sponsor at last year ’ s gathering and has a significantly increased presence in 2023 – that ’ s inflation for you . But seriously , as FinTech ’ s global audience and stature has grown over the last 12 months , it seemed a logical move to come back bigger ( check out our stand in Hall 1 / D190 ).
FinTech is a fast-moving beast , and many of the CEOs and founders we interviewed in 2022 have already moved on or moved aside due to rampant M & A activity in the sector . If you want to showcase your company to our community , get in touch by contacting james . white @ bizclikmedia . com or simply drop by the stand .
