Worldpay has evolved from a retail sales channel organization to a dynamic, omni-channel technology company under Drucker's leadership, embracing strategic partnerships, leading investment in research and development, and capitalizing on shifting marketplace trends towards software solutions. Under Drucker's leadership, Worldpay has become the world's largest omni-channel payments company, processing more than 40 billion transactions per year.

All industry leaders can benefit from Charles's analysis of how to address opportunities and challenges in our industry."

Drucker's keynote will address critical topics for payments leaders at SLF, like mergers and partnerships, the changing sales channel and the role of ISVs in disrupting existing models, and the new expectations of merchants in a tech-driven economy.

"Our SLF event is all about networking with and learning from the leaders and innovators in our industry. The best and the brightest are all at SLF, and Charles will help us all understand what's next in payments technology and how to profit from it," Oxman said.
