120 forward-looking conferences for a constantly changing sector  

The payment scene is changing rapidly and non-banking players are making an appearance: the multi-channel era is underway. The recent launch of Apple Pay is a real revolution in the payments field which is moving towards a massive adoption of mobile payment. When new technologies are adopted, maintaining a good level of trust and guaranteeing the security of transactions become essential. Secure identity thus becomes a crucial issue for citizens, enterprises and governments alike.

NEW FOR 2014: the Conference area will be located within the fair (Hall 4) for easy access to the conference and the various events on site!
