Georgia is the home of fintech. More than 70% of all debit, credit and reward card payments are processed in Georgia’s ‘Transaction Alley.’ There is no better place than Atlanta to harness the power of innovation to shape a better financial future.
This is why the Technology Association of Georgia hosts the annual Fintech South conference taking place on Aug. 27-28, Tuesday and Wednesday, at the Woodruff Arts Center. Fintech South is more than just a conference: it’s a celebration of financial innovation and proves why Atlanta is a global hub for our tech ecosystem.
Atlanta Symphony Hall will serve as the main stage for this year’s Fintech South, with more than 1,000 attendees and 125 speakers over two days embracing the conference theme: Fintech Lives Here!
“We’re thrilled to continue the celebration of TAG’s 25th anniversary with the South’s largest event for financial innovation,” said TAG’s President & CEO, Larry K. Williams. “This is fintech’s moment and an event that’s not to be missed. If you are interested or investing in financial innovation, you need to be at Fintech South.”
Since the first Fintech South more than 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 community innovators. Fintech South 2024’s featured speakers include C-level representation from some of the largest fintech companies globally such as Jeanne DeWitt Grosser, Chief Business Officer of Stripe; John Kim, EVP and Chief Product Officer of PayPal; and Jennifer Tescher, Founder, President & CEO of Financial Health Network.
As part of this year’s celebration, Barry C. McCarthy, President & CEO of Deluxe (NYSE: DLX), will be the 2024 inductee to the Georgia Fintech Hall of Fame. Worthy of recognition in the Georgia Fintech Hall of Fame, McCarthy’s career has culminated in leading the transformation of 109-year-old Deluxe from a check printer into a Modern Payments and Data company. Today, Deluxe processes nearly $3 trillion in electronic payments, about 15% of the US GDP.
“I am truly honored and humbled,” McCarthy said. “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 specifically what we’re building at Deluxe. I look forward to the bright fintech future, continuing to do this important work together.”
Fintech South 2024 is made possible thanks to partnerships from deluxe, Truist, and innovative companies from across the fintech ecosystem. For information on sponsorships, speaking, and tickets, visit FintechSouth.com or email sponsorship@tagonline.org.
