London 14 September 2011 With news on cards and payments dominating the headlines, it’s crucial that this dynamic area of retail has the ideal platform.  That’s why Cards & Payments Solutions 2012, the dedicated exhibition and conference focused exclusively on cards and payments solutions in retail, co-located with Retail Business Technology Expo, is the perfect place to come and find out all there is to know about this complex subject. 

Cards & Payments Solutions 2012 will once again be run in association with Vendorcom, the cards & payments community, and will include the first Vendorcom Quarterly Cards & Payments Thought Leadership Conference of 2012, which will have the theme “ Cards & Payments: Beyond the Legacy” and will deliver visionary and challenging information on the future focus of the industry as a whole and will be followed by a second full day of authoritative and pragmatic seminar briefings for retailers on topics of current interest.

In addition, over 500 delegates attended the Cards & Payments Conference and Retailer Briefings which provided a full educational programme throughout the two days.“

“Visitors to Cards & Payments Solutions are senior business managers, whose role is to equip their businesses to provide customers with more effective and secure ways to make payments, from finance directors, heads of eCommerce and fraud prevention to marketing directors and store systems managers,” Rodgers commented.
