I almost forgot to mention that I went along to the SIFMA event (previously known as the SIA show) last week to take a look around. For those of you not familiar with the SIFMA/SIA event, then it was the biggest financial services technology event I had ever attended/exhibited, taking up 5 massive floors at the Hilton NY. Everyone used to go there, and indeed that was one of the reasons (the only reason?) to go along. Now the event seems to dying a slow death, something I was going to write about but Adam Honore of Aite and Melanie Rodier beat me to it.
