Objectives
The objectives of the Next-Generation Cards 2020 Virtual Summit & Expo are to:

  1. Inform card issuers and end-users about latest innovations and solutions that can attract customers, delight cardholders and grow their card businesses;
  2. Explore how the card business is evolving, the fit with the mobile and digital world, and the impact of COVID-19 on consumer payments;
  3. Provide suppliers with a platform where they can showcase their card innovations, payment and identity solutions to customers and partners;
  4. Enable card ecosystem customers and suppliers to engage, have conversations and exchange contact details, when physical face-to-face meetings are now impossible.

For banks, fintechs and end-users who understand that the card is still the strongest link to the end customer, the event offers a card-focused perspective on the payments and identity business not available in other industry events.

For the card supply chain, the Next-Generation Cards 2020 Virtual Summit & Expo offers a one-stop experience integrating business intelligence, technology platforms and channels to engage and network with customers and partners.
