(with optional pre-event dinner on 16th June)

Join us for the leading payment security and compliance event for the higher education sector. In its 14th year, this will be a jam-packed event full of insights from industry experts and peers in the education sector. Focusing on payment security and building on previous events we will look at the latest insights from the PCI Security Standards Council, learn from institutions implementing payment security programmes and identify best practices. Based on feedback, this year’s conference has evolved to include compliance covering topics such as AML, fraud and risk management. The event will consist of panel discussions, workshops, presentations, and fantastic opportunities to network with your peers and industry experts.

Really great speakers with ‘wow factor’ information
Always a great opportunity to network, keep up to date with future changes and best practice and pick up little nuggets of information that can help with what we are trying to achieve
It was really valuable to network, discuss issues with colleagues and hear some of the latest news within the industry sector
The conference was fantastic. Highly valuable information to take back and use as part of a wider review on our own processes
