“NetFinance consistently serves up high quality speakers that provide deep insight in the digital financial services space. It’s a must attend conference for anyone that is looking to see what’s on the horizon .”

Ranjit Sarai, Director of Mobile, CIBC

I always love going to a tradeshow where I forge connections with new contacts and feel like I leave a little more knowledgeable about the industry, and Net.Finance provides just that. The event keeps me looped into the scene of key marketing developments within financial services and refreshes the way in which I view business trends.

This past conference, I really enjoyed the digital wallet presentation by Capital One’s Tom Poole. He helped me think about card issuers in a new way: Forget about payments; the real innovation is springing from issuers’ data to enhance consumers’ shopping experiences.

The content presented at the conference was timely for us, as we're evaluating new channels, exploring the optimization of current channels and determining how to integrate these channels seamlessly. Interesting to note that no matter the size or scope of our companies, we all experience similar challenges. The conference provided a good forum for marketers and channel owners to share best practices and learnings to help each other.

“I think Net.Finance is a great opportunity for any credit union employee. Most credit union people tend to only go to credit union specific conferences, where you get input from like-minded people. It is important to get a broader perspective of the industry as a whole and hear what your other competition (banks, insurance agencies, etc) are focusing their time on. Net.Finance brings these groups together so we can learn alongside each other and find our similarities instead of focusing on our differences.”

Melina Young, Director of Marketing, Verity Credit Union
