Awesome event, even better people. We’re looking forward to being involved next year. Let us know how/ if we can help in any way!
Beau Bergman
COO & Co-Founder, tripcents, Inc.
The Benzinga Global Fintech Awards was a fantastic event. We are an early stage start up and we made solid VC intros and partner connections.
The panels were great, the vibe was awesome and we had a blast. Looking forward to next year!

Just wanted to thank you for a great conference. The most valuable part for me were the connections…several followup meetings and news outlet interviews.
Thank you again and looking forward to next year.
Geoffrey Bourne
CEO & Founder, RETIRETY
The Benzinga Global Fintech Awards was a real treat. Emcee only observed this year, but we aspire to do a demo or be nominated for an award next year. Jason Raznick is very approachable and is a gatekeeper to the industry. My father attended the Awards with me since he was in town for my NYU Stern graduation and he connected us with Kamran Ansari from Greycroft Partners. Was very interesting to hear the biggest retail brokerage firms in the world talk about their constant need for innovation of user experience since their users expect the same type of experience from them as tech companies such as Amazon. Another observation was the plethora of high powered trading analytics firms that use ML and AI that want to sell their trading strategies to retail investors.
Arash Asady
CEO, Emcee Invest
I had a great time at the Benzinga event; I thought it was well organized and I appreciated the open culture of being easily able to talk to and network with participants — something that’s not easy to do at all fintech events.

After Casey described the event and I talked about the irreverent culture/atmosphere, Ronnie, Sobel, and most of the salespeople want to go next year.
Amar Kuchinad
Chief Strategy Officer, Trumid
Just wanted to thank you and the entire team for hosting such a fantastic show–probably one of the most meaningful industry shows I have ever attended (better than FIA, for sure!).
We will definitely participate next year!

I honestly, truthfully, and sincerely thought the event was fantastic! The fact that it was virtual was not a disadvantage at all. It made it tenfold better than a brick and mortar event. I think the Networking/People category was ingenious, and you made a great effort encouraging people to use the feature. I used that feature mostly to make some LinkedIn connections.
