Why you should attend?


Payments has evolved far beyond a back-office function. It now sits at the heart of customer experience, digital transformation, operational efficiency and commercial growth. As retailers face increasing pressure to reduce costs, combat fraud, improve conversion and meet ever-changing customer expectations, payments has become a boardroom priority.

The Retail Payments Summit 2027 brings together senior leaders from retail, hospitality, travel, fintech and payments to explore the strategies, technologies and partnerships shaping the next generation of commerce. Throughout the day, our 200 delegates will hear from industry leaders tackling the industry’s biggest opportunities and challenges, from payment optimisation and Open Banking to AI-driven decision making, orchestration and emerging payment rails.
