VIPdesk will be exhibiting at the 23rd Annual Card Forum & Expo on April 27 to 29 at the beautiful Fontainebleau Resort in Miami Beach, FL.

There is no better way to understand what’s happening in the payments industry than by attending this year’s event, as the agenda features broad topics that hit on many of the issues we face daily pertaining to credit, debit and prepaid card trends, marketing and loyalty, growth strategies and risk.

Attendees will learn strategies from top industry executives on overcoming market challenges, and have the opportunity to network with peers on the many challenges and opportunities that many of us face in the payments industry.
