SUMMARY:How the Payments Sector is Driving Atlanta Forward

Payments also sits at the intersection other strategic tech sectors: mobility\, cybersecurity and health care IT. This all comes at a time when the smartphone revolutionizes how payments and e-commerce work.\n\nJoin Global Atlanta\, Arnall Golden Gregory and the American Transaction Processors Coalition for a morning program and lunch exploring the biggest industry sector you’ve never heard about.\n\nYou will:\n\n-Explore the anatomy of a payment transaction\n-Hear why Worldpay moved to Midtown and how it approaches innovation\n-Learn how Fintech fits into Atlanta’s plans\n-Gauge the industry’s international opportunity \nSpeakers: \n\nPeter Forbes\, Senior Vice President\, WorldPay\nBlake Patton\, Managing Partner\, Tech Square Ventures\nGrant Wainscott\, Director\, Technology Industry Expansion\, Metro Atlanta Chamber\n\n\n\n\n	From the archive:
