Hi Everyone,
NewFinance is a Meetup that started in London, England, and is now expanding to New York and the Bay Area. Our events are for Entrepreneurs, Technologists, Professionals, Investors, and everyone interested in FinTech Innovation. We also video our events so if you can't make it please catch us on the NewFinance YouTube Channel (http://www.youtube.com/londonnewfinance).
This is the first of our six month New York FinTech Seminar series where we'll be exploring the hottest topics in FinTech in our proven Seminar format:
Month 1 - February 11th - Bitcoin
Month 2 - March 11th - Payments
Month 3 - April 15th - Cloud
Month 4 - May 13th - Analytics & Big Data
Month 5 - June 10th - Investment Information
Month 6 - July 15th - Startup Funding
We don't need to tell you that Bitcoin is a hot topic in FinTech right now so we'd like to explore some of the rapidly developing themes around the subject and the latest developments, key players and their offerings.
We'll be videoing the session as usual for those of you who are unable to attend. You may click here to watch the videos (https://www.meetup.com/newfinance/about/) from our previous seminars and here to see the photos. (https://www.meetup.com/newfinance/photos/)
Check out our London Bitcoin session from October - we held a Bitcoin Seminar in London last October which makes for a useful comparison to the US, see the videos here (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBl3rUsDIUW-nOU-MHpsx7fzVyTGbEpYG), the guide here (http://files.meetup.com/2243521/NewFinance%20Seminar%20Guide%20-%20Bitcoin%20-%20October%202013%20v1.0.pdf) and the photos here (https://www.meetup.com/newfinance/photos/17965332/).
