200+ NFC Executives Unite in Miami for First Ever North American NFC Payments Event

NFC Payments USA
NFC Insight is excited to announce that the industry's biggest names are coming together for the first time in Miami on November 2-3 to discuss the best methods to foster commercial rollout.


Over the last year there has been a huge shift in momentum for the NFC industry in payment technologies. With announcements from Google, Isis, Visa and many more key players in the space 2011 has certainly been a big year. With analysts predicting revenues over $50 billion by 2014 (Juniper Research) it's clear this is a lucrative area.

Nonetheless the NFC industry has some big hurdles to mount before they are able to offer end to end payments to a critical mass of consumers. Big questions still remain, such as how to form a successful partnership between all the fundamental players in NFC, how to ensure interoperability, the best methods to overcome lack of devices in the market and how to reach critical mass of consumers and merchants.
With these questions hanging in the air it has been hard for many NFC payment professionals to make the best decisions about how to move forward and see real ROI from day one.

The evolution of the market is promising big profits for this industry, and there has been a need for a place for key professionals in the space to discuss the best methods for commercial rollout of NFC Payments.
NFC Payments USA 2011, conference and exhibition, being held in Miami on November 2-3 has been launched to address this clear need within the industry. It is the first ever event in North America to address these key concerns and bring together the entire NFC Payment ecosystem.

Lucy Lincoln, Vice President of NFC Insight, explained, "We are very excited about this once in a lifetime event.
