Fintech South 2024 Celebrates Why “Fintech Lives Here”
Georgia is the home of financial technology. Over 70% of all debit, credit, and rewards card payments are processed in Georgia’s “Transaction Alley.” There’s no better place than Atlanta to harness the power of innovation to shape a better financial future.
That’s why the Georgia Technology Association hosts the annual Fintech South conference taking place on August 27 and 28, Tuesday and Wednesday, at the Woodruff Arts Center. Fintech South is more than just a conference: it’s a celebration of financial innovation and a demonstration of why Atlanta is a global hub for our tech ecosystem.
Atlanta Symphony Hall will be the main stage for this year’s Fintech South, with more than 1,000 attendees and 125 speakers across two days, under the conference theme: Fintech Lives Here!
“We are thrilled to continue TAG’s 25th anniversary celebration with the South’s largest event for financial innovation,” said TAG Chairman and CEO Larry K. Williams. “This is the moment in financial technology and an event you don’t want to miss. If you are interested in or investing in financial innovation, you need to be at Fintech South.”
Since the first Fintech South over a decade ago, the conference has evolved from a regional symposium curated by the TAG Fintech Society into a global event for financial leaders and innovators in the community. Fintech South 2024 Featured Speakers include C-level representatives from some of the world’s largest fintech companies, such as Jeanne DeWitt Grosser, Chief Business Officer of Stripe; John Kim, EVP and Chief Product Officer of PayPal; and Jennifer Tescher, Founder, President and CEO of Financial Health Network.
As part of this year’s celebration, Barry C. McCarthy, Chairman and CEO of Deluxe (NYSE: DLX), will be the 2024 inductee into the Georgia Fintech Hall of Fame. Worthy of recognition in the Georgia Fintech Hall of Fame, McCarthy’s career culminated in leading the transformation of 109-year-old Deluxe from a check printer to a modern data and payments company. Today, Deluxe processes nearly $3 trillion in electronic payments, approximately 15% of the U.S. GDP.
“I am truly honored and humbled,” said McCarthy. “The Georgia Fintech Hall of Fame is a who’s who of industry giants, and I extend my gratitude to TAG and our fintech community for this recognition. I am incredibly proud of our industry and especially what we are building at Deluxe. I look forward to the bright future of fintech as we continue to do this important work together.”
