We are delighted to inform you that the Early Bird registration for the EPIF 3rd Annual Workshop is now open. EPIF’s 3rd Annual Workshop on “European Payments: Driving the Next Technology Revolution”, will take place on 21 November 2018 in Brussels and will bring together up to 150 participants from our membership, key EU policy-makers and other important stakeholders in the payments sector. This year, we have a full-day workshop focusing on those issues keeping the payments industry busy, including the future of payments, standard setting and access to payment infrastructure, the interaction between key pieces of data policy for the payments sector and the inter-relation between the GDPR and the PSD2 and Vice President of the Commission Valdis Dombrovskis will give a keynote speech.
