There has been impressive growth in the use of contactless in Europe and the launch of large-scale rollouts continues. This conference will update you on the key developments in the rollout of contactless in Europe and the challenges facing the European market.

Representatives of banks, large retailers and transport providers will present case studies to assist you to identify the major issues and evaluate the latest developments in this fast evolving industry.

Successful rollout strategies will be scrutinised and the pitfalls identified. We will consider the future plans for the European rollout of contactless cards and the developments in the UK market.
