As of 2017, the region's number one conference and exhibition for commerce and payment solutions will be known as Seamless
Dubai, UAE - Cards & Payments Middle East today announced that the event will be rebranding to Seamless, after 17 years. The decision was taken to ensure the event's branding truly reflects the current state of the industry and the content and services showcased at the show.
Joseph Ridley, General Manager, Terrapinn said: "Today customer needs and expectations have changed, and people expect a seamless, hassle free experience, whether that's online or in-store. We have taken the decision to re-brand, in line with industry trends, as our customers today are focused on showcasing the very latest in commerce and payments technology, moving away from traditional card payments."
M. Nabil Ibenbrahim, EVP Regional Director Middle East & Asia from HPS said: "In the 13 years since HPS has been exhibiting at Cards & Payments, we have seen the solutions and technologies evolve significantly and we're now in a very different landscape to when we first exhibited. Rebranding to Seamless reflects the current state of the industry and the trends we're seeing, so we're looking forward to continuing our relationship with the event in 2017."
Seamless will continue to represent a variety of industries, co-locating Seamless payments, Seamless e-commerce and Seamless retail.
The show will remain a key meeting place for pioneers in the payments, e-commerce and retail sectors to exchange ideas, showcase products and develop partnerships.
