Welcome to the 2008 Prepaid Card Expo!

The market for open- and closed-loop prepaid products has quickly established itself as an integral part of the payments industry, with market size estimates of more than $236 billion by 2009. But in order to fully capitalize on this market opportunity, you need to understand the latest trends and developments in the industry, stay up-to-date on new technologies, and foster relationships with your peers, clients, and partners.

You can achieve this by attending the 2008 Prepaid Card Expo, the world’s largest gathering of prepaid, stored value, and emerging payments professionals, with more than 2,400 people from over 900 companies attending the 2007 conference.

Learn
At the Expo, you’ll have tremendous opportunities to learn from your peers and other industry experts across a variety of vertical and cross-industry sessions, supported by case studies presented by end-customers. You’ll have a forum to discuss future challenges and opportunities within a comprehensive agenda covering all facets of prepaid and stored value product types and applications.

Buy and Sell
Investigate, analyze and compare the latest in prepaid technology, services, and solutions by browsing more than 50,000 square feet of exhibit space. Plus, take a test drive of the latest product demonstrations held on the Exhibit Stage during session breaks.

Interact with Your Peers and Counterparts
Exchange ideas with your peers, foster strong relationships with prospects and partners, and network with industry thought leaders and experts at our structured and social activities.
