Attending this event makes networking and connecting with others so much easier. I believe the main goal for almost everyone here is to learn, and this experience truly delivers on that.

What I truly loved about the Payment Leaders Summit was its strong focus on real-world applications in the near term. The conference had an excellent emphasis on open banking and account-to-account payments, bringing together a diverse set of stakeholders—banks, merchants, and tech providers—all in one place. The intimate setting also allowed for meaningful, qualitative discussions. Given the high-caliber cohort here, I would absolutely recommend it.

This is definitely one of the best conferences I’ve attended. Its biggest advantage is that it truly brings together professionals who are deeply focused on payments.
-
Excellent variation of payments professionals. Well thought out spread of discussion topics and round table subjects.

Good event, always get above and beyond with the number of meetings which is golden!

The roundtables were incredibly engaging, bringing together a diverse mix of merchants and industry experts focused on problem-solving. The presence of banking professionals added valuable insights, helping to break down challenges effectively. The one-to-one meetings were also highly productive, with a great selection of merchants that aligned with our problem-solving approach at Payabl. We really appreciated the variety of industries we could support and received very positive feedback. Additionally, the seniority of attendees was impressive—many were decision-makers with deep expertise, making for meaningful and impactful discussions.

The Payment Leave Summit is brilliant! It's been a really great chance to find out new innovation in the payment world as well as connecting with people that we haven't before, as well as people that we've already met in the past, touch base and find out what's new with them. It's generally just a great event to keep up to date in the payments industry.

Being able to discuss with peers rather than just vendors has been invaluable and quite reassuring to discover that actually, the challenges are very similar across different industries.

The meetings at PLS are really beneficial. It offers a really good opportunity for a candid open conversation whereby you can talk about industry trends and what merchants are looking to achieve in the next 18 to 24 months .Meetings have been really good.

We see that the calibre of the individuals and attendees are really strong at this conference. The talks have always been really good and so for us it was a logical opportunity for Airwallex to be a strong sponsor at a strong event.

"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."
-
The event is small enough to allow for meaningful conversations. Good speakers and relevant topics are selected!
-
We've really enjoyed the quality of the speakers and the content, we hear people sharing their experiences. It's great to hear the merchants who operates at scale telling us about how they deal with their own issues and compare those experiences.
-
My overall experience has been a great one! It's always interesting to participate in conferences to learn off of the merchants, but also understand what the latest innovations are in the payment space.

"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."
-
"It’s not just merchants—it also includes issuers, which makes for an interesting format to hear all sides of the payment equation."
-
"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."
-
"One-to-one meetings are essential. Sure, I can grab a drink and chat with people, but having dedicated one-on-one time is invaluable. You do a great job of bringing the right people together and facilitating warm introductions. The structured conversations, with clear topics to discuss, add a level of value that other conferences simply don’t."
-
"The conference itself and the content are fantastic! The speakers are highly qualified, with some real heavy hitters involved. What truly sets this event apart, however, is the curated meetings directly with the merchants—it's a unique feature that distinguishes it from other events in the industry."
-
"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."
