⭐ 🤔 Perhaps the most surprising takeaway from attending Money 20/20 was witnessing firsthand the growing irrelevance of traditional "big players". As I explored the content and interacted with exhibitors, it became clear that startups and fintechs are disrupting the market in ways that legacy institutions simply can’t match. The old guard—banks and financial giants that once held control—are now struggling to keep pace with the agile innovators who can move faster, experiment more freely, and deliver superior experiences. This was reflected in the exhibitors, speakers and events (in and outside of the conference). The shift is undeniable, and it's exciting to see how emerging players are reshaping the future of payments. As usual, the best part of a conference is seeing friends, old and new! It's these connections and conversations that really make the experience unforgettable. 🕺 Until next year! #Money2020USA #Fintech #Innovation #b4bpayments #diversity #payments #fintechinnovation #paymentstechnology

So well said, and *so* true these days. The geeks have inherited the worth. (But they can't kill 8583!)
Missed you among the throng - 45 meetings plus and it was another good one. I hope you had a good show as well!
Great insights Lori! Hope you are doing well!

2wLori Breitzke I agree. However, back in 1989 when I joined NTN, we were all start-ups! Our company of 35 smart, young people worked our asses off to convince supermarkets to install debit card terminals to replace checks. And they did! We've been fortunate to witness every innovation since. Now payments is "fintech" but our old stories will live on (Sardinia -- you remember 🤣)
