EMV Payments, Mobile Payments and Transit Payments Converge at the 2012 Payments Summit

The 5th Annual Payments Summit builds on a successful history of conference events with a move to a larger meeting space to accommodate a more broadly-focused All Payments Event covering every leading transaction platform: Card payments, mobile payments, and transit payments. The payments industry is approaching an historic tipping point. Visa’s recently announced plan to accelerate US adoption of EMV, the global standard for payments security, means that banks, credit unions, issuers, and merchants will face a crucial decision: follow suit, or fall behind? At the same time, millions of consumers will begin to discover a new payment option that's already in their pockets: Smart phones and devices with secure NFC payment capabilities.  Finally, transit operators from major cities nationwide are planning open bank card fare payments pilots and roll-outs. Join us for what the Smart Card Alliance does best – bringing experienced smart card practitioners and suppliers together with innovative solutions developers and end users across the payments, mobile, and transit markets. Over 400 will attend--reserve your spot today.
