The countdown is on to Money20/20 Europe.

Money 20/20 is just around the corner and we have a big team of Threddsters heading over to Amsterdam for what promises to be a great few days.

This year’s theme is Human X Machine and we’re certainly interested to see how this idea plays out over the course of the 3 days and how the big trends impacting our industry are portrayed by the stellar lineup of expert speakers.

We asked our partners at B4B Payments and the team at Thredd what they were most looking forward to about next week’s event.

Dermot Meehan - Head of Business Development at B4B Payments, part of the Banking Circle Group

For me, Money 20/20 Amsterdam is the biggest event of the FinTech year. It's the perfect opportunity to reconnect with old friends, colleagues, and clients and to stay updated on the latest products and trends. Of course, generating new business and leads is a key objective, and this event never disappoints in that regard.

Jodie Taylor - Head of Marketing at B4B Payments, part of the Banking Circle Group

From a marketing perspective, Money 20/20 offers unparalleled networking opportunities by gathering top executives, influencers, and decision-makers from the financial industry. This allows marketers to build connections and share insights in this ever-evolving industry. Money 20/20 enables marketers to experience new products and innovations firsthand, network, and see all the latest cutting-edge financial technologies, which aids in crafting effective strategies. The event serves as a prime platform for product launches and announcements, helping us understand the competitive landscape and better position our product offerings.

I am excited to meet new fintech innovators, reconnect with existing partners, and explore all the latest exciting innovations.

Betsy Samuel – Chief Marketing Officer

This year we are proud to have two of our team participating in the RiseUp & Amplify program having been hand-selected after a rigorous application process as two inspiring individuals who embody the future of our industry.

Shereen Hattia – Campaign and Brand Manager

Money 20/20 is an event I look forward to for months in advance. But the excitement starts to double up the day before the event opens. Where steel beams are flying overhead, and everything is in complete disarray. When you aren't allowed access without a pass, a hard hat, a high-vis vest and a pair of steel-toed boots. The exhibition builders work tirelessly through the night to pull out all the stops to make a marketer's every dream.

The first day of Money 20/20 brings such incredible energy and everyone brings their A-game. I love seeing teams on top form flaunting their very best angles (and booths). The event brings together the brightest minds across the payments ecosystem, which means deep, thought-out and engaging content that touches on the best innovations in Fintech. Most interesting to me are the innovations that put customers first - where payments can be made seamlessly, without compromising security, convenience or transparency.

I also look forward to talking to the variety of visitors Money 20/20 brings together - the expert, the bright-eyed, talking, smiling business developer, the merch givers (and the merch hunters), the weary-footed at the end of the day - knowing that it was well worth it.

Kanika Handuja – Programme Manager

The topics covered in the program are so engaging. So, to choose only one would not do it justice. One subject I am looking forward to hearing more about is whether men also talk about imposter syndrome. As a woman leader I have always seen and heard women discussing more about what they lack instead of their strengths, highlights and contributions they can bring to the table, so I’m interested to hear how that experience is shared with the opposite sex.
