Money20/20 is the biggest brand in global fintech and now is the right time to launch its Middle East edition.” In its first edition in September, 24 Fintech drew over 300 exhibitors, more than 350 investors and more than 37,000 visitors. “Building on the success of 24 Fintech, Money20/20 Middle East will be twice the scale, twice the audience, twice the speakers and twice the exhibitors when we open our doors in Riyadh in September,” Mander added.
