Navigate Complexity with Clarity
About Event
The landscape for payments compliance is undergoing its most significant shift in years. A new administration is redefining priorities, not by stepping back, but by shifting focus. At the same time, AI, stablecoins, and hyper-active state regulators are creating a complex web of new risks.
The 2026 conference will not be a routine update. It is where the brain trust of the industry will gather to discuss the most significant regulations and compliance strategies impacting 2027.
