It’s revolution time. The digital consumer revolutionizes the marketing sector and turns complete industry branches inside out. What has been started in the media and telecommunication industry will now take place within the banking and finance sectors. Consumers are used to the comfort of online banking and self service. Banking products and services have become replacable mass goods and can be chosen freely.

Consumers are pushing the revolution in the banking business forward on a basis of digital technologies including smart mobile devices. Banks have to cope with this challenge to open up and answer the call for individual needs of their consumers.

NEXT Finance will take the challenge – as the first little sister event of the NEXT Conference – to face these topics and presents them in a neat conference format. The keynote will be held by Chris Skinner, Pelle Braendgaard (PicoMoney) will talk about Agile Banking, Salvatore Pennino (Google) will present Google Wallet and Sebastian Herfurth (Friendsurance) will introduce the insurance market place Friendsurance. Check out our complete speaker line up.

NEXT Finance is supported by PayPal and ImmobilienScout24 and sets its focus exclusively on the financial and banking industry, which has its German heart in Frankfurt. The half-day event on September 8, 2011 is an invitation-only conference aimed at high-profile decision makers of the financial and banking industry.
