Overview
On February 20—23, 2024, Oliver Wyman will be attending Payments MAGnified in Dallas, Texas. This event, organized by the Merchant Advisory Group (MAG), was previously known as the MAG Mid-Year Conference and Tech Forum. The purpose of Payments MAGnified is to create networking opportunities and customizable experiences that cater to varying career stages for payments professionals and business-minded individuals who will have the chance to dive deep into the industry's challenges and opportunities.
Our objectives during the conference include:
- Speaking with merchants about payments, financial services and industry trends ranging from strategic to operational, from cost to regulatory, from customer experience to internal implementation steps.
- Connecting with Voice of the Merchant survey responders to dig deeper into topics on the study.
While at this event we look forward to meeting with retailers and continue building relationships.
