We’re excited to be a part of this year’s EMERGE, the premier event on consumer financial health,  as it brings together hundreds of innovators over three days to explore “Trust, Tech, and Transparency”. Flourish and several portfolio company will speak at several conference sessions, which will be held May 15-16 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Emmalyn Shaw, managing partner at Flourish, will be moderating the panel titled “The Reality Gap: Understanding Financial Health in America.” Together with other field representatives and experts, the discussion will focus on what drives the disconnect between financial services and financial health—and what this means for consumer trust in financial services organizations and beyond.

We hope you’ll join us to learn what it takes to earn—and keep—the trust of customers, employees, and communities in a data-driven age. See the details below for events where Flourish and our portfolio companies will be participating.
