Oxman stopped in at the media room to share his
enthusiasm for the ETA's "rebranded and reenergized"
premier event.
"We've expanded the schedule so we're three full days
now including high-level keynotes, 77 conference
sessions and an exhibit hall that is larger than at any
show in our history," Oxman said. "It's really become a
truly global hub of activity in the payments industry."
Oxman believes the show's rebranding captures the
expansion of the industry to include global technology
companies entering the payments business. "Our
show floor includes the world's leading payments and
technology companies that are offering innovative
new products and services for merchants," he said.
In addition, he stated, "More payments industry
business gets done during the Transact show than
at any other place on earth. You see all the meetings
taking place, all the discussions on the show floor.
There's an incredible amount of business getting
done. It's really efficient for attendees because all their
current and prospective customers are here. If I do 20
meetings while at Transact for three days, that's 20
separate trips to see customers that I don't have to do."
At the conference, the ETA was also spreading the word
about its advocacy and educational activities. "ETA
has been very active as an advocate for the payments
industry in Washington, on Capitol Hill and with
federal regulatory agencies," Oxman said. "We've also
expanded our educational initiatives, including our
ETA CPP [Certified Payments Professional] program.
Nearly 1,000 industry executives have participated
in the certification program. We're proud of the
professional education we're providing; it's a unique
member benefit and is helping our industry grow."
The ETA's Transaction Trends magazine also sponsored
the media room, which was graciously hosted by
