Explore MRC Events

Our flagship conferences are multi-day, in-person events showcasing several tracks of educational content, workshops, and an exhibit hall, hosting anywhere from 500 to 1,500 attendees, depending on the region. These conferences bring many opportunities for face-to-face interactions, exchange of ideas, and tackling business challenges and process improvements through collaboration. The content is focused on trends in payment fraud, payment optimization, technology and innovations, security and law enforcement, trust and safety, regulations and compliance.

Member-only conferences are designed to provide our members with an exclusive opportunity to connect with up to 300 professionals who are all part of the MRC community. In addition to creating an environment for education and sharing of best practices, these conferences facilitate rich networking opportunities, giving attendees valuable face-to-face time.

Our regional in-person networking events are bringing local payments and fraud communities together. While Happy Hour events focus solely on networking, Connects events and in-person Women in Payments and Fraud events deliver quality content and valuable discussions on industry topics, followed by a networking reception. Attendance at these sponsored 3-hour events is complimentary to MRC members and non-members alike. However, as these are merchant-focused events, solution provider attendance is limited and subject to MRC approval. Regional in-person networking events typically host  50 – 100 attendees, depending on location. 

MRC summits are sponsored, one-day, single-track virtual or in-person events that dive into a particular topic impacting the payments and fraud prevention industries. Our virtual summits typically deliver six hours of content and attract 300 – 600 attendees, depending on the subject.
