FinDEVr San Francisco 2014: Telling the Tale on Twitter

Wherever there are technology people talking, you can be sure that Twitter is one of the ways they are doing it.

And the first FinDEVr held this week at the Mission Bay Conference Center at the University of California San Francisco was no exception.

See for yourself. From sponsors and presenters tweeting word of their innovations to attendees weighing in on what impressed them most, the first FinDEVr Live Twitter feed was as much a success as the show itself.

We’ve sampled a tweet or two from our presenters to give you a sense of what this historic opportunity for fintech developers was all about. Enjoy!

Thanks again to all the presenting companies and developers who came out to support the very first FinDEVr. We saw a lot of old friends and met some great new connections – and hope you did, as well. We’ll see you in 2015 for the second annual FinDEVr!
