This latest PSE Consulting Conference provided a unique platform to explore key trends shaping the European payments landscape, allowing attendees to share insights, and engage in meaningful discussions with industry leaders. The Iliad Solutions team were in attendance. Richard Mummery, Head of Client Success and Craig Mullard, Senior Sales Executive EMEA, take up the story.

Whether you were looking to stay ahead of the curve or connect with peers, this was a fantastic opportunity to be part of the conversation driving the future of payments. Attending the conference was invaluable for professionals like us and others in the payments industry.

Here are some of the key benefits we experienced by attending and would recommend future conferences like this:
