“Nextgen Payments Forum went in three ways. Number one - preparation, number two - delivery, number three - part of the journey of change.” - Tony Craddock.

“There’s a range of topics being discussed all within the vertical of payments and financial technologies. Great interaction between the industry seems to be if not necessarily a meaning of the major topics, there’s at least a continuation of the dialogue and full appreciation of all the challenges. You don't get that in many venues and conferences that you go to. Usually you can’t see this sort of interaction.” - Peter Oakes.
