Welcome to Q2 conference junkies! It’s a busy time with a full slate of conferences ahead and many early-bird discounts still available. And you won’t have to pay list prices if you play your cards right. Big-company attendees are highly valued, so there is ample room to negotiate.

To help your planning, here is our curated list of the best global payments industry events, conferences, and trade shows for 2025. These are the largest events in the financial services industry for payments and card technologists, program managers, marketers, developers, and C-Suite executives at legacy financial institutions, upstart payments firms, and card issuers.
