Event Notes

The 5th Annual Payments Summit builds on a successful history of conference events held in the majestic city at the foothills of the snowcapped Wasatch Mountains. After years of double-digit participation growth, the 2012 conference moves to a larger meeting space to accommodate a more broadly-focused agenda. The Alliance has combined the rapidly growing Mobile and Transit Payments Council Summit with "Roadmap to EMV Payments", from the Alliance Annual Conference in the Spring, which drew hundreds of attendees to Chicago. The result is a single, large All Payments Event covering every leading transaction platform: Card payments, mobile payments, online payments, and transit payments.
