Many Thanks to You
With one week to go before Christmas day, some readers are likely already out of the office for the rest of the year. The lucky ones are reading this slope side with a hot toddy in their hand.
This marks our last LinkedIn newsletter of 2024, and I wanted to say thanks to all of our readers and followers. We started this newsletter as an experiment earlier this year, and have been blown away at the feedback and engagement the content has received throughout 2024. We can't wait to see where the newsletter (and the fintech industry) takes us in 2025.
As with our conferences, our content would be nothing without our audience.
So as we continue the newsletter into 2025, please let us know your thoughts of what you like and don't like about the content, the delivery, and the channels. Seriously, we'd love to hear from you, so either comment below or email research@finovate.com with "Content" in the subject line.

Pause button: Snow Words
You may have heard that the Inuit have more than 100 words for "snow" since it is so crucial to their culture. But did you know that the English language is also replete with snow words beyond simply "snow" and "sleet"?
This piece from the Farmer's Almanac lists 40 words for snow, and I can think of even more that are not listed (if you are a skier, you may be familiar with "death cookies!").
Regardless of your snow-cabulary, I hope you are able to find snow of any form and enjoy it this holiday season!
2025 Events Lineup

We'll also be hosting the FinovateAwards in September, as well as free webinars throughout the year.
Have a restful break, and we'll see you in the new year!
