This session, presented by one of our attendees, will explore how the traditional boundaries between payments and crypto are increasingly disappearing, particularly at the infrastructure level.
The discussion will look beyond crypto as an asset class and focus on what this convergence actually means for everyday payments, withdrawals and money movement, including whether consumers and businesses even need to know which underlying rails are being used.
It will also tackle one of the biggest barriers to convergence: regulation. While the technology is becoming increasingly interconnected, regulatory approaches remain fragmented across regions. The session will explore how payments leaders can navigate this complexity while building products and infrastructure that need to operate globally.

CLOSING FIRESIDE CHAT: From Insight to Influence: How to Get the Board Behind Your Payments Strategy20 mins
This is one of the two sessions specifically requested by our attendees, focused on a challenge payments leaders increasingly face: how to elevate payments from an operational function into a Board level strategic priority.
The discussion will explore how payments leaders can turn complex payment challenges, opportunities and transformation initiatives into a compelling commercial story that resonates with senior executives. It will look at securing investment and executive buy in when payments is competing with other business priorities, as well as how leaders can build the credibility and influence needed to challenge existing thinking at Board level.
Ultimately, the session is about helping payments leaders move from insight to influence, ensuring the Board understands the impact payments can have on revenue, growth, customer experience and innovation, rather than viewing payments simply as infrastructure or a cost centre.
