As the world becomes increasingly more digital, attending in-person learning and networking events is now more important than ever.

EPCOR’s Paymentspalooza, happening next month in Overland Park, KS, offers these opportunities and more, so you won’t want to miss it!

On Monday, we’ll kick off the conference with a panel of experts discussing how to best combat fraud. Speakers from FS-ISAC, The Noble, PTAP Advisory and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston will share up-to-date information to help you in your fight against this increasingly prevalent problem. Customize your schedule by choosing from 20 unique concurrent sessions with topics such as Regulation E, debit card disputes, the FedNow^® Service, RTP^®, check fraud, identity theft and more. We’re bringing back many popular speakers, including Diana Kern, Nancy McKenzie and everyone’s favorite payments attorney, Scott Jones! Also speaking at this event is our very own Shelly Sipple, who will introduce you to new payments experts like Liz Cone, one of EPCOR’s seasoned auditors who will share advice on properly handling Third-Party Senders. As always, the Monday Gala Reception is the place to be and a provides the opportunity to connect with new and old friends while exhibitors and sponsors showcase innovative new products and services.

On Tuesday, we’re bringing back our popular Morning Show, where the Payments Professor, Kevin Olson, interviews experts from Nacha, the Federal Reserve and The Clearing House. News and information have been rapidly increasing around the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) and how it has the potential to transform fraud prevention efforts at financial institutions. At Paymentspalooza, you won’t want to miss this riveting session from Peter Tapling. Peter’s session was one of the most enjoyed sessions at our spring conference, with dozens of enthusiastic comments such as, “fantastic session,” “great speaker,” “very insightful,” “made an intimidating topic seem manageable” and “this gave me, and probably everyone listening, a LOT to think about!” Another powerful session that generated dozens of comments was delivered by Darrell Stinson. He shares advice about self-care and how to channel stress positively. You’ll be both inspired and personally moved by his autobiographical session, You’re Enough! A Self-C.A.R.E. Strategy to Transform Stress into Success!
