Vendorcom Cards & Payments Thought Leaders Conference
London, 8th December 2009
Delegates loved the last Vendorcom Quarterly Cards & Payments Thought Leadership Conference - the content, the location/venue, the catering, the networking, in fact just about everything - so we’re squeezing another one in before the end of the year! As we’re approaching the end of the first decade of the 21st century we’ll be covering topics that will help us prepare for the next ten years in cards & payments.
We’re back at the Magic Circle in Euston, London after the glowing reviews from the last conference and, as you can see from the agenda below, our speaker line-up and the topics covered are as strong as ever.
We will also be holding our Christmas social & networking event on the evening before the conference at The Courtyard @ The Kings Arms in London’s Southbank. This drinks reception and dinner will start at around 18h30.
