It’s easy (and expected) for me to encourage you to attend EPCOR Payments Conference –Fall 2023. After all, I’ve worked at EPCOR for nearly 25 years and have spent the majority of that time directing and producing our annual conferences, helping make them the best experience they can be for our members.
It’s challenging but also rewarding work, creating something new and fresh, yet making it relevant and helpful to our members, year after year. It takes a village to pull this off in a successful way, no doubt about it.
Still, I believe in the power of in-person events despite the online options that are now more readily available. I know the value of our conference, or any good conference for that matter, is much more than the sum of its parts. And the dividends keep coming, long after the event is over.
Each year, our team works hard to make the conference better than the year prior. For 2023, this is no easy feat given the overwhelmingly positive feedback we received last year!
And speaking of feedback, here are a few comments from our Spring 2023 conference attendees:
- "First time attending this conference and it has been an excellent event. Learned a lot and met many valuable contacts."
- "I appreciate that fraud topics were a big part of the conference. I don't deal on the front side of payments- but being on the fraud side of things terrifies me!"
- "I love how EPCOR brings a core group of diverse, educated presenters each and every single time. I always look forward to attending the preconference workshops which is a great way to kick off the conference."
- "My favorite session today was the final talk with Kevin Olsen. He gave many ideas to use in everyday life and work. Plus-- the gift card I won!"
- "Once again, mission accomplished. This was such an awesome conference. Continue to bring energy, diversity and creativity to your conferences. By far this was one of the best I've attended thus far and makes me excited about attending future conferences. The rapport-building and networking were amazing, as well."
Attending an industry conference exposes you to new people, fresh ideas and unique perspectives and gives you a sense of where things are going in the industry.
At this year's conference, there are a variety of informative sessions to choose from, and you’ll have plenty of chances to network at events like the Gala Reception, hot breakfast buffets, refreshment breaks, a Luncheon and after-hours dining activities.
