Why attend PAY360 as a delegate?

If you’re serious about shaping the future of payments, attending PAY360 as a delegate offers unmatched access, insight and opportunity. Here’s what sets the delegate experience apart:.

All-Access Pass to Everything That Matters

Unlike visitor passes, your delegate ticket gives you full access to all conference sessions, the exhibition floor, and every networking feature. That means more conversations, deeper insights, and real opportunities to drive your business forward.

Be Part of a Powerful Peer Group

1,700+ professionals attend as delegates, and nearly 60% are VP-level and above. This is your chance to connect with senior leaders from across the payments value chain – including banks, fintechs, merchants, PSPs, acquirers, and regulators.

Unrivalled Content from the Top of the Industry

With over 40 C-suite keynotes and more than 200 hand-picked speakers, the PAY360 agenda is second to none. We don’t do call-for-papers – we curate every speaker to ensure the sharpest insights and most relevant conversations. Built through the insights of our payments community for the community.

Confirmed speakers include:

  • Mike Regnier, CEO, Santander UK
  • Mark Brant, CPO, NatWest
