Launchpad360 will also feature the winning team of the Money20/20 Hackathon, which is taking place on November 1-2 at the Aria. The hackathon will feature hundreds of talented developers, designers and entrepreneurs competing to create FinTech applications and claim a share of the $125,000 total prize pool.

According to Simran R. Aggarwal, co-founder and president of Money20/20, opportunities to present at Launchpad360 are extremely coveted, following the overwhelming success of the companies that participated in last year's event.

"Launchpad360 is the industry's leading platform for companies to demonstrate innovations to analysts, peers, potential customers, investors and others," said Aggarwal. "At last year's event, our participants delivered truly impressive innovations and disruptive technologies and we've enjoyed watching their ongoing successes. Launchpad360 is the ultimate launch pad for companies in the payments space and for industry participants eager to get a first-hand look at what's to come."
