Bringing together multiple viewpoints, both in person and in data with Sanjib Kalita (Fintech Meetup and Guppy)

After having been in events for over a decade, I had worked on events that talked about technology and yet, as far as using technology for the event itself, I felt that there was a bit of a gap there.

And so then when I saw what Fintech Meetup was doing in terms of using technology to maximise meeting the right people or being exposed to the right ideas, you know, I thought that just took that to a new level: it was a financial technology conference that actually used technology.

And so, as an example, we had 4,000 people at the event and we had over 43,000, 44,000 meetings scheduled!
