1. Establish Yourself as a Frontline Leader in an Ever-Changing Industry

The global digital payments market is expected to grow from $88.1 billion in 2021 to $180.4 billion by 2026. With this rapid growth, the need for advanced payment technologies and fraud prevention strategies is more critical than ever—and the best ideas and actions come from real-life experiences and experts on the ground, just like you.

2. Valuable Networking as a Thought Leader

Speaking at MRC events not only offers a chance to share your expertise, but also provides an opportunity to connect with payments and fraud prevention professionals across a wide spectrum of industries as you gain visibility as an industry leader. By presenting at these events, you’ll strengthen your professional network, gaining valuable contacts who can offer insights and solutions to the challenges you face.

3. Be Part of Industry Solutions and Regulatory Conversations

Regulatory changes are shaping the future of payments and fraud prevention, and merchants need to stay ahead. With the MRC’s record of helping to shape compliance strategies, your contributions can help shape the industry.

4. Building Professional Recognition

More than 65% of merchants state that increasing brand awareness and credibility is their top priority for speaking at conferences. By participating in MRC events, you can showcase your company’s innovations and expertise through real-world case studies, further enhancing your visibility and reputation within the industry.
