Re: Best payment conferences to attend to promote our work

Hi Stephane,

I actually just got back from Money2020 http://money2020.com/ yesterday
and that should definitely be on the groups list of Payments conferences
to attend.  The conference covers pretty much every aspect of payments
under one roof and was attended by over 7000 people this year.  One of the
key themes this year at the conference was on integration and
interoperability of payments across the numerous payments/banking
platforms (incl.  apis, mobile devices, browsers, etc) and countries (ex.
regulations, standards, infrastructure) and as a result I was constantly
sharing/raising awareness of the W3Cs work by this space by promoting the
Payments Interest Group and pointing people at the interest group home
page at every chance that I got.  It did not appear from the numerous
conversations that I had with attendees that there was a lot of awareness
with the work, though after sharing a brief background, it appeared that
there would be quite a bit of interest in the work that the W3C is
undertaking in this space.  I think this would be a very good conference
to consider attending.   Additionally, it may be worth reaching out to the
conference organizers for a list of attendees from this year as they may
be good contacts to reach out to to solicit participation in the group as
there was an incredibly diverse audience there.

Hope this helps - please let me know if I can provide any additional
assistance or background on takeaways from this years conference.

Pat
