Money20/20 Europe - a new addition to the circuit

One of the key parts of being an analyst is attending conferences. At first it may seem like an ideal job, swanning around the world attending them (and to be frank, we’re not complaining!). In reality, they’re a very busy and critical part of our job, and choosing the right one is key. Firstly, we get to meet people. With global coverage, we spend much of our time talking to people on the phone. Yet nothing beats meeting people face to face still. Conferences then are as much about who you meet as anything. Secondly, the content. Our job is making sure we have the finger on the pulse of what is happening, and what matters. To be truthful, we often don’t get chance to attend many sessions as we’d like, but the conversations, whether formal or the casual catch-up in the corridors are just as vital to us. With so many conferences to choose from, it’s vital that we pick the right ones to attend. It could be a full time job just visiting them all, and every year at least one conference clashes with another. One recent conference that seems to have almost instantly established itself on the circuit is Money20/20. Celent analysts have attended the first three in Las Vegas, and seen it grow rapidly. It’s therefore no surprise that we’re watching the inaugural European version with interest. Cunningly titled Money20/20 Europe, it takes place in Copenhagen April 4-7. As with any event, it’ll take a little while to settle into its on rhythm but already the agenda is attracting some well known names from the banking industry. We suspect that this will become one of the mainstays of the European banking calendar. If you plan to attend but haven’t registered yet, feel free to use our Celent discount code CEL200, worth €200 off of your ticket. We hope to see you there!
