Finally, An Event Where PF Is The Focus, Not A Footnote
Given how important payment facilitators are to the rapidly emerging and morphing payments landscape in 2016, it’s stunning how few places there are to explore the implications of being a PF today. Plenty of meetings and symposium exist for chatting about payments in general or virtual currencies or mobile payments, but the opportunities to really delve deeply into PF issues are practically non-existent. Until now.
If you can swing by Las Vegas on April 19, PaymentFacilatator.com—in conjunction with Double Diamond Group, Rich Consulting and the Electronic Transactions Association—will present our version of Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About PFs, But Were Too Geeky To Ask. Officially, though, it’s dubbed simply TRANSACT 16’s Payment Facilitator Day – In Depth and On Target.
One of the most critical areas we’ll explore are the different ways PFs are impacting various verticals. That mostly splits into two categories: places where PFs are sharply improving how existing products/services are being paid for; and places where the PF model is actually creating new products/services where faster/better payments are definite, but secondary to the new service.
PaymentFacilitator.com has focused on profiling some of the most interesting PFs today—including RunSignup and Softheon—and two of those profiled executives, from Placefull and from RunSignUp, will be presenting at the event.
Other topics will including PF business financials, legal decisions and compliance fears.
