Nordic Card Markets
 

overview

As the flagship cards event for the Nordic region, SMi's 8th annual Nordic Card Markets conference is shaping up to be the most compelling yet.  With the rate of change across Europe in the cards and payments market gathering momentum this conference will both build upon the subjects discussed in January 2008 and move onto the new hot issues facing investors, including developments in mobile payment services, NFC and RFID, contactless card trials and smart cards for travel. Crucially this event will delve deeper into the ongoing SEPA and PSD debate analysing the impact and structure of SEPA which SMi touched upon last January when the first tranfers began.

With the usual line-up of high quality expert speakers always attracted to this event SMi's  'Nordic Card Markets' conference is ideally placed to provide a timely update and analysis of current developments in the cards market across the Nordic region.

The conference programme for 2009 will discuss innovative payment techniques, smart cards and the surrounding technology, the latest in mobile and NFC and the most recent contactless rollouts across the Nordics. With over 140 attendees in 2008 this remains the leading cards and payments conference dedicated to the Nordic region and will provide an unmissable networking opportunity with key decision makers and industry leaders.
