8:00am – 11:15am | | SESSION 1: ELECTRONIC PAYMENT DYNAMICS | |
| | 8:00am – 9:15am | |
| | Segment I: Alternative Payments | |
| | The 2010 marketing launch of Square and the 10th anniversary of PayPal serve as interesting bookends to the alternative payments sector. What is the future of this dynamic and exciting space and what are important trends that will determine the outcomes? What role does merchant aggregation play and what determines when it is friend or foe? The rules have ostensibly been set for some time, but how do they affect alternative payment methods? How do different payment methods conform to the rules, or how will the rules conform to them? This session will explore all these areas, and more, to help industry executives address this important and growing payments arena. | |

| | Segment I: E2EE and Tokenization | |
| | Recently there has been much discussion and many opinions regarding the strength of encryption and the value of tokenization related to protection of payment card data and PCI compliance. In the midst of a constant stream of press releases announcing data breaches and a persistently changing regulatory environment, how can acquirers, ISO’s, technology providers, and merchants filter through the noise and make sense of what the market has to offer? Learn how and why interested parties need to go beyond PCI compliance and secure data in their entire payments environment. Join our experts as they discuss the benefits of encryption and tokenization and how all solutions are not created equal. | |

| | Segment II: Mobile Payments | |
| | Year after year we continue to hear, “The time has come for mobile!” But, the future requires - and merchants are asking for - mobility for a variety reasons involving emerging technology, data security and recent marketplace developments. These environmental changes include new PCI requirements, chip and PIN expansion, new vertical markets, the emergence of smartphone apps, pay-at-the-table, line busting with scanning, and so many more that seemingly emerge every day. Solutions have come from all corners of the globe, leveraging competing technologies such as terminals vs. smartphones, direct connectivity vs. gateways, and integrated vs. standalone. Now more than ever, mobile technologies have a place in the merchant services portfolio. Join this session to hear our expert’s advice on whether the tipping point is imminent for the uptake of mobile payments. | |

| | Segment III: Impact of Mid-term Elections on the Payment Sector | |
| | Keynote Speaker: Morton Kondracke, Executive Editor and Columnist, Roll Call | |
| | Chances are good that Republicans will make substantial gains in the November Congressional elections - possibly gaining control of both the House and Senate. The new power arrangement may create the environment for bipartisan solutions to America's biggest problems, starting with the federal debt, energy policy and immigration, or simply lead to more ferocious politicking leading up to the 2010 presidential election. Kondracke will forecast the election, analyze the political climate and tell us what it all may mean for the payments industry.
A journalist for more than 45 years, forty in Washington, Morton Kondracke has covered nearly every phase of American politics and foreign policy - in newspapers and magazine, on TV, radio, and the internet. Since 1991, Kondracke has been the Executive Editor of Roll Call, Capitol Hill's leading newspaper. He writes "Pennsylvania Avenue", a weekly column on national politics and foreign policy.
Kondracke is a regular commentator on the Fox News Channel, serving as an "All Stars" panelist on Special Report. | |
