What’s Next In Payments: The Connected Economy

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Seven Conversations That Will Change How You Think About Payments

The Connected Economy is everywhere. And it’s changing how people, businesses and governments interact within and across once-separate silos. Connected devices and new technology are blurring the lines between how we pay, bank, communicate, travel, live, eat, shop, work, have fun and stay healthy. Payments is the horizonal that is enabling new business models and creating new experience-centered ecosystems.

As is the PYMNTS tradition, we are starting an entirely new conversation about payments and its role as a catalyst in driving the digital transformation of the 10 pillars that we believe represent the Connected Economy.

Join us for a series of electrifying discussions with the greatest minds in payments as we set our sights on the future — the Connected Economy — and the role that each of you play in making it a reality.

SPECIAL PROGRAMMING NOTE: Viewers will be among the first to learn the details of a variety of groundbreaking PYMNTS Connected Economy initiatives, including a new industrial average index created by PYMNTS to track and analyze Connected Economy developments as they happen.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Monday, May 3, 2021 | 12:00 PM (ET) – 1:00 PM (ET)
