June 2016 Edition:
PayExpo Europe, the UK’s largest payments technology conference and exhibition, will return to ExCel London on 7 and 8 June 2016.
As new developments drive continual change in the vital area of payments, the event is an essential source of news and insight for anyone involved in making financial transactions faster, easier and more secure.
PayExpo Europe attracts over 2000 attendees from retailers, banks, MNOs, gaming operators, government and local authorities, transport operators and solution providers. Held in London, the FinTech capital of the world, delegates can share insight, best practice and innovation about the future of payments and transaction technology and their impact on global commerce.
The comprehensive two day conference will feature expert speakers from leading organisations including Samsung Pay, the British Retail Consortium, the Digital Currency Council, Mondo, The Emerging Payments Association, The Bitcoin Foundation, The National Bank of Oman, The Payments Systems Regulator Forum and the Financial Conduct Authority.
Topics to be explored include utilising social networks for personalised and localised payments, competition between ‘challenger’ and legacy banks, an update on the European payments landscape and strategies for maintaining the UK as a payments hotspot.
