about this event

[/column_1]

[column_1 width=”3/4″ last=”true” title=”” title_type=”single” animation=”none” implicit=”true”]

The Internet, mobile devices, cloud, and API’s have lowered the barriers to entry with disruptive payment companies rapidly innovating all around the globe. API’s have allowed companies to quickly connect to customers and partners but as the volume of transactions increases, these companies realize the public Internet is not as fast as they need or won’t allow them to scale globally. We live in a world living at cloud speed, where virtual machines can be turned up in minutes, so is there a better way to connect with vendors, partners and customers in today’s fast paced environment?

[push h=10]
The Interdependence Day – Rethinking Interconnection of Payment Companies in Today’s Software Defined World is invitation-only and limited to fifty senior business and technology leaders from major issuers, card networks, acquirers/processors, payment gateways, retailers, smart phone manufacturers, mobile networks, POS/payment terminal manufacturers, and social media companies. Roundtable members will benefit from a highly interactive format that allows every leader to exchange knowledge and experiences while networking over a two hour lunch.

we will cover the following questions

[/column_1]

[column_1 width=”3/4″ last=”true” title=”” title_type=”single” animation=”none” implicit=”true”]

• What is the current and future landscape of the payments ecosystem?
• Why are industry leaders driving towards the same peering model that helped scale the Internet?
• How are new trends in real-time data analytics impacting the industry?
• What can be learned from the Amazon AWS, Google and Microsoft when it comes to architecting a customer network strategy for the payments industry?
• How do I start from where I’m currently deployed (virtualized or existing data center) to leverage new models of interconnection without major cost or disrupting current operations?
