Our capabilities: growth
Money20/20, the world’s largest FinTech event, is acknowledged as
being at the centre of the payments industry. Founded in the US five
years ago, Money20/20 successfully launched its first European
edition in April 2016 – and was Ascential’s biggest launch to date.
Money20/20 Europe was created in collaboration with our
customers to provide a world-class experience for European FinTech
innovators that directly met the needs of the industry specific to
Europe. The content team then set out to create an unparalleled
agenda with local, regional and global contributors from the entire
commerce ecosystem, including retail, mobile, marketing services,
data and technology.
The event in Copenhagen delivered a platform where industry
leaders could connect. Attending were the key companies and
individuals building, disrupting and challenging the ways consumers
and businesses manage, spend and borrow money. Money20/20
Europe provided an opportunity to come together at scale and
attracted more than 3,700 attendees, 420 industry leading speakers,
200 sponsors, 100 media partners and C-level executives from 75
countries. This was a superb example of getting a launch right and
we have already announced a further extension of the Money20/20
brand as it will launch in Asia in 2018.
