Xpand's Sydney Mobile and Online Payments Meetup

You're invited to Xpand's Mobile and Online Payments Meet up!

The payments landscape is an ever evolving beast, most notably in recent times due to the swift advancement of the Mobile and Online payments sector. The industry has also had a huge amount of buzz of late, particularly due to Apple’s first foray into mobile payment technology, resulting in a further revving up of the competition and a quickening of the already rapid pace with which tech’s heavy hitters- along with many up and comers, are advancing to dominate both the mobile and online payments industry and make their systems the best, most efficient and user friendly.

With all these seismic changes within the payments sector and with Mobile and Online payment’s enormous potential only just starting to be realised, this landscape makes for an incredibly important and topical area of conversation.

As a result, Xpand’s own Andrew Blades, David Cooney and Juliet Baker have to decided to host what promises to be both a fascinating and informative evening centred on these core topics.

The event will be held on Thursday the 20th of November from 6pm, at Xpand’s converted woolshed to warehouse style HQ in Millers Point. The session will be largely interactive, with a panel of exceptional key speakers from within the industry and will be followed by plenty of networking time, with all drinks and food provided by Xpand.
