Big Thing
Over the years you have worked with us on ‘anything and everything payments’ and we value that connection. On a wider scope, we go through massive change as an industry and as a society, which also brings great opportunities. The complexity lies foremost in the pace of change: what to focus on, what not? What is the next big thing that will make us, you, leap forward? This is why I invite you to join forces at our upcoming client conference to find ‘YOUR next big thing.’
Over two days we will explore the big issues that impact our market and your business. What’s next and big in technology and how you can embrace new solutions for the challenges of tomorrow today.
