Bringing Payments Companies & Investors Together
The electronic transactions business has long been an area of interest to the investment community. From the early days of enabling acceptance of credit cards, to the current environment of alternative payments and technologies, the merchant acquiring industry represents a profitable, growth-oriented market. Recently, the early signs of recovery from the economic downturn have spurred a significant upsurge in interest from investment banks, venture capitalists and private equity firms in the payments sector. In response to the opportunities presented by these market dynamics, ETA is proud to announce its inaugural "Investment Community Forum" to be held Tuesday, April 13 in conjunction with the 2010 ETA Annual Meeting & Expo. Whether you are a stakeholder in the payments supply chain or an investor looking to learn more about the players and potential, this event offers you unparalleled access, education and information on opportunities in the ever-expanding electronic transactions business. For Investors... Spend the day learning about and interacting with the stakeholders in the fast growing payments industry. This full day event will give you first hand access to the merchant acquiring business and all of its players. There will be an educational session outlining the participants in the business, their various business models, revenue/profit dynamics, and trends. The remainder of the day will be a mix of panel discussions covering the different sectors of the acquiring industry and interaction with industry stakeholders and influencers. For Payments Professionals... At some point, you will want to raise money, recapitalize, start a new venture or even sell. This full day event will give you access to the investment community in an industry-friendly atmosphere. The day will include a session to educate the investment community on the payments business and panel discussions covering the different sectors of the industry. This full day program will provide you access to the investment community, a better understanding of investor needs, and ample time to network. |
