Short update from JFK
Hi, there!
It was a crazy busy week in New York.
I’m writing this very short update from JFK airport right before takeoff. I never sleep on airplanes but I’m pretty sure I can catch some sleep this time.
What a trip! Definitely worth it!
1️⃣ I finally got to meet Ron Shevlin in person! For the past couple of events, our schedules didn’t match, until this year.
Ron, just like his articles and reports, is just outstanding. I’m sure this won’t be the last time we meet!
2️⃣ The Fintech Nexus event was lit but I’m more into the side events and one-on-one meetings.
3️⃣ I stopped by the 11 F:S podcast recording and for drinks at the Galileo Meetup with an amazing view over the city that I won’t easily forget.
4️⃣ And I should definitely mention the Financial Revolutionist Happy Hour!
I met with some great people and the gin and tonics tasted better than ever; so kudos to Harvey Hudes and his team for making this possible!
6️⃣ Last but not least I met up with my friend Jon Lear from Fintech Meetup.
They are working on a great event in Las Vegas for March 2023 and I can guarantee you 👉 I’ll be there! 🎉
Great new plans for me in the US are in the works, and this trip only accelerated these plans. 👀 More exciting news to follow soon!
For the ones that are interested, here is the TLDR;
The New York fintech scene is truly amazing and I always feel very welcome when I’m here. Because I can’t mention everybody I met (I did promise to keep it short) I hereby say to all of you.
Thanks for this amazing week and I’ll be back soon!
On another note: since I don’t speak Spanish (working on it), and I’m not located in LATAM myself, I am looking for people to help me source fintech news from the region.
Preferably English articles, but I’m also interested in someone that could source Spanish articles and translate them into English. The goal is to share all these highlights with a network that is also interested in the LATAM FinTech space but is not located in the region, just like me.
Are you, or do you know, somebody that could help me out with this? Drop the name in the comment and/or shoot me a message!
Many thanks in advance and enjoy your weekend!
Cheers,
Marcel.
