Event to foster industry collaboration and explore future trends in financial technology
MONETT, Mo., Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack Henry™ (Nasdaq: JKHY) is launching its first-ever Developer Conference (Devcon) on November 20, 2024, at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas.
Jack Henry Devcon will bring together developers and leaders from fintechs, financial institutions, and technology companies currently building or planning to build on Jack Henry's developer platform. While the recent Jack Henry Connect event focused on financial institution leadership, Devcon is designed for a more technical audience, providing an opportunity to dive deeper into Jack Henry's APIs and explore the tools, features, and insights necessary to create innovative solutions.
Participants will hear from Jack Henry leaders about the present state and potential future of financial technology, while also learning about best practices they can implement in their organizations. In addition, the event will offer valuable networking opportunities, enabling developers to connect, exchange ideas, and foster relationships that could lead to future collaborations.
"While many conferences take a broad, high-level approach, Jack Henry Devcon offers an invaluable opportunity for the technical teams at financial institutions and fintechs to delve into the details of new innovations and technology," said Amanda Horton, SVP, Director of Digital Banking Development at Simmons Bank. "We're excited for the opportunity to engage with this community and look forward to insightful conversations that will help us continue delivering modern banking experiences that better serve our accountholders."
This event further supports Jack Henry's technology modernization strategy, which is centered on the company's ongoing development of a single, modern, open-banking platform that enables easy access to a broad ecosystem of Jack Henry solutions and third-party fintechs. To date, the company has integrated more than 1,000 fintechs into its ecosystem.
The ability to integrate technology is especially important to financial institutions making buying decisions – more than 90 percent plan to embed third-party technology into their digital banking experiences, according to research from Jack Henry's 2024 Benchmark Study.
"Jack Henry remains committed to fostering a collaborative ecosystem that offers financial institutions an open environment to innovate, along with access to hundreds of fintechs, ensuring they stay relevant and competitive both now and in the future," said Chad Killingsworth, Head of Engineering with Jack Henry. "Jack Henry's Devcon supports this strategy by creating a space for developers across the industry to collaborate, explore new possibilities, and uncover capabilities they may not have considered before."
