  • “On the Road Again…”

    Disclaimer: The following information is subject to change (but hopefully it won’t!).

    But having officially given that disclaimer, it looks like the SPVA’s event schedule is taking shape. We’ve got our eye on four shows in 2010.

    Midwest Acquirers Association (MWAA)

    July 21-23

    Schaumburg, IL

    8th Annual MWAA Conference – “Changing Times…Changing Visions”

     

    Cards Latin America

    October 4-6

    Coral Gables, FL

     

    ETA Strategic Leadership Forum

    October 27-29

    Palm Beach, FL

    "Business Intelligence for a Rising Economy"

     

    CARTES & IDentification

    December 7-9

    Paris, France

    “Digital Security – Smart Technologies – Payment – Mobility”

     

    So if we haven’t met in person or you haven’t had a chance to learn about the benefits of joining the SPVA, this is a great place to start. Visit us at one (or all) of these shows to see the great work we’ve been doing and talk to us about what our plans are for the future.

     

    There you have it. I wanted you to hear it here first. I encourage you to check our events page regularly as we confirm the shows in which the SPVA will be exhibiting, speaking and hosting workshops. Hope to see you on the road in the coming year. Wheels up!

  • Good News/Bad News

    Don’t worry. The “bad” news isn’t all that bad. You could say that the good news is the excuse for the bad news. Confused? I’ll explain. The bad news is that I’ve been remiss in posting a blog entry as frequently as I had planned. The “good” news is that the reason for the radio silence is due to the hectic event schedule SPVA has committed to.

     

    Having said that, I hope you can join us at some of our upcoming shows. We’ll be at EPCA in Paris and then ETA in Las Vegas (celebrating our one-year anniversary). In between the two dates, we’re participating in a PCI Compliance webinar panel, hosted by BrightTALK.

     

    Take a look at some of our upcoming plans. If you’ll be there, please drop me a line – I’d enjoy the chance to meet you.

     

    EPCA Payment Conference

    Bonjour!  Wheels down in Paris on Sunday, March 21. We’ll have a booth set up at the 2010 EPCA Payment Conference March 22-24. Stop by and say hello.

     

    BrightTALK

    If you’re sitting at your computer on March 25 1 p.m. GMT, tune in to this free webinar. The PCI Compliance Summit will be a day-long event, but if you can catch our time slot, we’re sharing the “stage” with SPVA member Witham Labs and the CTO of SecureWorks.

     

    ETA Annual Meeting & Expo

    April marks the one-year anniversary of the SPVA. We’ll be back at the place of our launch to hold our annual members’ meeting and board meeting. If you will be in Las Vegas April 13-15, let’s talk.

     

    See you on the road.
