About the Payments Leaders’ Summit
Taking place globally 5 times a year, the Payments Leaders' Summit will gather selected senior payment leaders, decision-makers and budget holders for 2 days of peer to peer networking and learning.
This is an unmissable opportunity for leaders that oversee payments and fraud strategy, PSP partnerships, payments schemes and methods, developing payments architecture and infrastructure.
The event will give you the opportunity to network with senior peers in a relaxed, private environment, hear and learn from the most influential members of the payments community, and provide a platform to engage in pre-qualified meetings with leading solution providers.

Hear Why PLS is The Summit That's Shaping the Future!
Our Attendees
-
I really benefited from the informal, low-traffic nature. There was a great mixture of keynote speakers/panels, roundtables, and one to ones. It afforded me the opportunity to ask lots of questions, meet the people I thought I needed to, and hear from other peers in the industry.
-
The topics were really looking at application in the near term, and you had a really diverse set of stakeholders. The fact that it is more intimate allows for more quality discussions.
-
For me, PLS is a real revelation, the event can open doors and provide insights into new ways of working that we should all be more open to. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the payments industry, especially women looking to connect and learn.
-
It’s not a tradeshow with a trade floor, it is more about fitted content and targeted meetings with people that get matched to you, it’s very tailored to the attendees.
-
A great opportunity to connect with other merchants trying to solve the same problems.
-
I’d describe the summit as a chance to find solutions for specific challenges, while also hearing some really interesting talks. It’s a great opportunity to see the full spectrum of payments, it’s such a wide-ranging space. You get to solve immediate business problems and also discover what’s happening in areas you might not normally come across.
-
The best event I attended all year and absolutely the most beneficial for networking and learning.
-
"I attended PLS to engage with colleagues across different industries, learn best practices, and gain insights that will help me make more informed long-term decisions for my organization. As a merchant, one of the most valuable aspects has been hearing firsthand experiences from others using these products, rather than just from those selling them. That real-world perspective has been incredibly useful."
-
"The conference provided great insights into the latest TP payment trends and answered key questions I had—such as how to drive merchant adoption of open banking and how to successfully launch peer-to-peer payments for our customers."
-
It’s highly informative, provides an opportunity to engage with people from other industries, and offers a chance to step away from your usual routine. It’s a great way to gain motivation, perspective, and a fresh lift in your work.
Our Sponsors
-
The roundtables were incredibly engaging, bringing together a diverse mix of merchants, industry experts, and banking professionals focused on problem-solving. The one-to-one meetings were highly productive, with great merchant alignment and valuable discussions with senior decision-makers
-
You’ve done a fantastic job of facilitating conversations, not just with the people we aimed to connect with, but also with those we hadn’t initially considered. It’s been incredibly valuable to engage with individuals who are eager to learn and explore new opportunities.
-
The conference and its content are fantastic, featuring highly qualified speakers—including some real heavy hitters. While many events have great speakers, what truly sets this one apart is the curated meetings with merchants. It’s not just another industry event; it’s bespoke, exclusive, and exceptionally well curated.
-
There were other businesses that chose to meet with us, ones we hadn’t even considered pairing up with. Some of those conversations turned out to be just as productive, if not more productive, than the meetings we had originally planned.
-
The ability to connect with customers we specifically want to speak to is a huge advantage. It allows us to pre-select customers, prepare accordingly, and make meaningful personal connections so we can serve their needs effectively. I believe personal introductions and connections are critical, understanding and meeting new people at these events is crucial for building relationships with customers looking to enhance their payment experiences.
-
What I really like about these conferences is that you meet payment experts who are genuinely interested and self-select based on what matters to them.
-
Our expectations were completely exceeded, and the Clarion team were ten out of ten to deal with. From the podcast preparation to scheduling our meetings, everything was seamless. The guaranteed ten meetings were great, and we’ve already had even more on our first day which has been instrumental in reaching our prospects and growing our network.
-
The roundtable experience was particularly fruitful. It reignited my awareness of the different complexities merchants face. At the table, we had a mix of merchants from various verticals and segments, some with mature global operations, others just venturing into new territories. Hearing their experiences, learning what they are doing (and aren’t doing), and seeing how even newer entrants were leveraging very mature strategies was refreshing. The discussion fostered collaboration and generated real innovation.
