NAPCP Commercial Card and Payment Conference Exhibit Hall Filled with Dedicated Industry Players

Forty-three exhibitors will be on-hand when the NAPCP 12th Annual Commercial Card and Payment Conference opens April 11, 2011, at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel. Hundreds of end-users from the Corporate, Government, and Education sectors will stream into the Exhibit Hall, bringing their tough questions and long-term ambitions for managing world-class card and payment programs.

MINNETONKA, MN, FEBRUARY 28, 2011 – The NAPCP is proud to attract issuers, networks, software solutions providers and a myriad of other players to its Annual Conference Exhibit Hall. To drive traffic, the NAPCP is scheduling several meals and networking events in the hall during open hours Monday and Tuesday, April 11-12.

“The conference gives me an opportunity to experience products and solutions that I would not likely see any other way,” begins a 2010 conference attendee, “the networking is incredible and the amount of knowledge that I can gain in four short days is priceless.”

Exhibitors are limited to tabletop displays, a policy the NAPCP feels “levels the playing field” and helps promote participation by companies of all sizes. For a complete list of participants, please visit www.napcp.org/2011exhibitors. Companies interested in exhibiting should contact Sue Stein, Meeting and Events Manager at Sue_Stein@napcp.org.

Beyond the Exhibit Hall, some providers are offering One-on-One meetings, giving end-users a unique opportunity to focus on optimizing programs, resolving issues, and expanding their knowledge of a company’s offerings and business approach. Attendees can meet with their own provider-or one they might be considering. The NAPCP posts a list of organizations sending at least one attendee on its conference website.

The complete 12th Annual Commercial Card and Payment Conference program is now available at www.napcp.org/2011. The conference regular registration period runs through March 4, 2011, with late rates in effect through April 14.
