Our conferences provide a unique platform to explore key trends shaping the European payments landscape, share insights, and engage in meaningful discussions with industry leaders. Whether you’re looking to stay ahead of the curve or connect with peers, this is your opportunity to be part of the conversation driving the future of payments.

 

This year, we will be covering a wide range of topics including: 

 

– Agentic Commerce is set to transform the way consumers and merchants interact with payments. We’ll be hearing some exceptional insights from those at the bleeding edge of innovation: Stripe and Adyen 

– Embedded Finance innovation continues apace with new offers from a wide range of software platforms and PSPs. Come and listen to insights from Mews and Mollie 

– POS differentiation is still a major element of the merchant proposition, so hear some perspectives from Verifone and Klipboard 

– B2B payments are still a hotbed of innovation, despite the challenges. Hear from the excellent Erin McCune, Adflex and Freshbooks 

 

Plus: Liberis talking about their underwriting AI; Chargebacks911 taking about fraud and chargebacks; Payrails discussing marketplace orchestration; Worldline talking about Wero; J P Morgan discussing the payment ecosystem; the list keeping going! 

 

Unlike most European payments conferences, we do not charge our speakers to present. Our goal is to provide you with more than just sales pitches. We ask our speakers to share their insights on the future of the acquiring market, recount experiences from launching new services and discuss best practices.  

We’re thrilled to host the event again at: Merchant Taylors’ Hall, 30 Threadneedle Street, London EC2R 8JB.  

The conference will run from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, followed by networking drinks in the Hall. 

We typically SELL OUT so we would strongly recommend you book early to avoid disappointment later.

We look forward to welcoming you on 4th November!
