Summary
Roger Alexander (chair at MPE) said it right: ’Anywhere, anyplace, anytime’;
This strapline from old advertisement seems to be most appropriate for shopping in 2016 and serves also as a key takeway from this year’s MPE Conference! High profile speakers didn’t let us down and we were treated to some excellent, thought provoking presentations and panel sessions thorough 3 days of the conference. We continue to see more innovation in payments world everyday and we’re curious to find out what the next step will be.
We shall find out in 2017 at the 10th Anniversary MPE conference in Berlin.
Looking forward to see you all there!

MPE Awards 2016 - Winners
The Merchant Payments Ecosystem 2016 attendees gathered on the second night of the event to celebrate the winners of the 2016 MPE Awards and to network during a gala dinner.
The awards committee, consisting of recognized independent consultants and dedicated press professionals, was impressed by the number of entries that came in at the end of last year and beginning of this year.
This year, a great amount of new, budding companies entered the awards contest and some of them not only made it to the finals, but eventually left behind some of the largest, well established players, impressing the awards committee…
