About the Payments Leaders’ Summit
Taking place globally 7 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
-
The panel discussions were really interesting, bringing together different perspectives on the challenges facing the industry and the wider landscape. It was really valuable to hear from people we wouldn’t normally interact with.
-
It feels very collaborative. You’re watching the panels and listening to the talks, but in between people are finding you and having conversations, even if you don’t have a 1-to-1 scheduled. It’s an easy event to get involved in, whether you’re an attendee or a speaker.
-
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.
-
The 1-to-1 meetings were very informative, and I really appreciated the curation around them. The team asked what I was looking for and matched me with companies that could potentially support those needs. I also really valued the networking, meeting people from the same industry and sharing knowledge around the challenges we’re facing and the potential solutions. Collaborative, impactful and insightful.
-
The roundtable brought together people from different industries and countries, which gave us a range of perspectives on the challenges people are facing and how they’re solving them. It was a great opportunity to share industry knowledge, trends and thought leadership.
-
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.
-
What I found most useful was being paired with the people you actually want to speak to, so you can dedicate your time to the problems that are relevant to your organisation. The format is really engaging, with panel discussions, roundtables and fireside chats where you can interact in smaller groups
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
-
The quality and relevance of the 1-to-1 meetings feels really high. The conversations feel thoughtfully matched and well timed, so rather than simply talking about a product, you’re discussing what’s on the roadmap, what’s coming up and where there could be an opportunity to work together
-
We had the right level of stakeholders, and many of the companies really matched our ideal customer profile. Having insight into their key priorities ahead of the meetings meant we could shape the conversations and make them much more relevant.
-
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.
-
I really like this format because it lends itself to more intimate conversations and allows you to understand what’s top of mind and the strategies payments leaders are focused on. Compared with bigger events, it’s much easier to get to the right conversations and really understand what’s important to them.
-
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.
-
It’s genuinely one of my favourite summits. We’re learning, discussing ideas and meeting potential partners for the future. All of that combined is pretty perfect, to be honest.
