PRESENTATIONS ADDED TO OUR REGULAR NETWORKING EVENING
ON THURSDAY 24TH OCTOBER 2024 AT THE SKY LOUNGE, LEEDS!

Last year was a particularly successful event with a good mix of returnees and new faces. Accordingly, we feel that there is now a demand for us to offer a bit more than just a great opportunity for general payments conversation.

We have therefore added an hour or so of presentations to take place at the Hilton Doubletree in Leeds before moving upstairs to the Sky Lounge for our regular networking evening.

The overall theme will be New Dimensions in Payments Processing.

Introduction by Dave Smith, PKF Chairman and Head of Global Software Engagement at Diebold Nixdorf

Early Lessons in Cloud Deployment by Jim Tomaney, Principal Advisor to Hyosung TNS

What a Retail IT Director Will Look For When Selecting a Payment Solution Provider by Tim Mattos, Former IT Director at Aldi

The sessions will start at 4 o'clock but precise timings and location will be provided in due course

If you can't make it to the sessions, just come along after work or drop in later on. We'll be in the Sky Lounge all evening from 5.30 and attendance is completely free to payments industry people. Bring your colleagues!

Simply let us know you want to come by RSVP to Denys Whitley at The Payments Knowledge Forum.

At comforte, in a nutshell, we identify, locate and protect our customer’s confidential, or Personally Identifiable (PII) data and cardholder data (PCI) from external attacks and hacking, whilst minimising internal mis-use or fraud by so-called ‘Insider attacks’. In addition, we allow our customers to unlock the full value of the data that they hold, facilitating data analytics etc. down to granular level without compromising security.

comforte has formed a partnership with ACI Worldwide. Customers using ACI Worldwide payment software in their CDE (cardholder data environment) can now take advantage of leading data protection technology from comforte, which works seamlessly with the firm’s products. Specifically, thanks to the new partnership, ACI Worldwide now recommends comforte for its ACI Banking (i.e., Issuing and Acquiring) products in order to meet the data-at-rest requirement of PCI DSS 4.0.

We have over 500 customers worldwide, including Government Departments, commercial organisations, banks, retailers, insurance companies and the like, but increasingly we protect smaller and smaller companies as more organisations seek to take data protection seriously.
