Presentations

The payments ecosystem has never been more fragmented, with multiple providers, regional payment methods, shifting regulations, and evolving consumer expectations. But within that fragmentation lies an opportunity: the ability to design for openness, connectivity, and performance. This keynote explores how embracing Open Payments—built on flexibility, interoperability, and control—transforms fragmentation into a strategic advantage. You’ll hear how leading organizations are rethinking their payments infrastructure to unlock agility, harness AI-powered optimization, and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving global market.
