Who's attending?

C-suite and heads of payments, finance, e-commerce, fraud, digital, commercial and treasury.

Attendees will be from a broad cross-section of industries to enhance the learning experience, e.g. retail, travel, hospitality, software, not-for-profit, and telecommunications.

The final agenda topics will be determined following pre-workshop calls with each participant. During these pre-workshop calls, we will ask participants to share with us their:

  • Top 3 best practices.
  • Top 3 business challenges.
  • Top 3 topics of interest / learning.

This helps us determine who to ask to present and what topics will be most relevant to the attendees.

Topics that are typically discussed at our Ecommerce and Marketplaces Round Tables include:

  • Improving authorisation rates
  • Fraud management
  • Digital wallets and local payment methods
  • Payments orchestration

The round table involves a light lunch, a content-rich half day workshop, followed by networking drinks and a relaxed 3-course dinner. The boardroom format and the pre-work to curate the workshop agenda  ensures that it is a very interactive session.
