Attendees included more than 1,000 CEOs from some 3,000 companies and 75 countries, as well as over 550 speakers.

The 2015 edition featured speakers including Vinod Khosla, founder Khosla Ventures; Patrick Collison, CEO and co-founder Stripe; Robert Greifeld, CEO NASDAQ; Gordon Smith, CEO consumer & community banking Chase and other senior representatives from companies including PayPal, Google, Facebook, Citigroup, Visa and Mastercard.
As announced earlier this year, the first Money20/20 Europe event will take place in Copenhagen in April 2016.
Anil Aggarwal, founder and chairman Money20/20 said: “The 2015 edition of Money20/20 has maintained the momentum of our incredible growth over the last few years, as the industry continues to consolidate around the event. Once again we have brought together the best minds from the greatest number of leading ‘FinTech’ companies, and we have delivered the most engaging and incisive content available to the sector.”
