As your payments association, everything EPCOR does is to help you and your organization solve your payments challenges and discover new opportunities within the payments industry. We identify and explain trends in the payments space, share best practices and solutions, identify any gaps that need to be addressed and craft education, resources and professional development training around those gaps to meet your needs.
We take our job as your PA seriously, knowing that you look to us as experts on various payment systems and how they operate.
One of the best (and most popular) ways we support you is by providing educational and networking opportunities to meet and engage with peers, colleagues and experts who are like-minded. How do we do this, you might ask? The annual EPCOR Payments Conference is one way where ALL of this comes together, and twice a year at that!
Our spring conference will be in Columbus, Ohio on April 16-18, 2024, and our theme this year is Paymentspalooza, so get ready for a 3-day jam session like no other.
The event kicks off with an optional, preconference workshop, Navigating Reg E. This immersive Tuesday morning session will walk you through scenarios and test your knowledge in applying Regulation E to different situations that arise in your day-to-day operations. Tickets are limited so don’t delay if you want a seat!
There are a variety of general sessions throughout the conference, featuring industry experts you will want to hear. On Tuesday, we kick off the conference with a panel of regulators from OCC, FDIC and NCUA. Later, hear the latest on financial crimes impacting the elderly from the Secret Service. On Wednesday, we’re bringing back our popular Morning Show format and interviewing payments experts from Nacha, the Federal Reserve and The Clearing House. During lunch, hear Jane Larimer, President/CEO of Nacha as she gives an ACH State of the Union session.
But, it’s not ALL just about payments! We know you like a break from all the intense learning occasionally, which is why Darrell Stinson is going to talk about self-care and how to channel our stress into success.
Choose from more than 20 unique, concurrent sessions covering topics like B2B payments, FedNow®, RTP®, check fraud, identity theft, foreign exchange and more. We’re bringing back many popular speakers like attorney Scott Jones, Diana Kern, Matt Luzzader and Peter Tapling, while also introducing you to new ones such as Matthew Wade, one of EPCOR’s seasoned auditors who will share advice on handling Third-Party Senders.
But what about networking, you ask? We’ve got you covered with opportunities during our Gala Reception, hot breakfast buffets, Luncheon, refreshment breaks and our always-popular Dining with Strangers event.
And don’t forget about the Exhibitors, who are featuring innovative solutions to your pressing payments issues. This is your chance to see demos, ask questions and maybe even win a vendor prize!
There’s something for everyone at our annual conference and we hope to see you there this April.
