What is
driving Middle Eastern prepaid?
VRL recently hosted a round table in London to discuss possible
business opportunities in the Middle East. Representatives from
some of the leading global institutions, including VISA, met to
discuss and debate what is possible in one of the most promising
regions for payments in the world.
With 100 confirmed delegates and provisional bookings from
another 50, Prepaid Summit: Middle East 2010 is already the
pre-eminent prepaid event in the Middle East. With key dedicated
sessions on remittances and retail, and exclusive research in cards
in the UAE, KSA and Egypt, the conference will deliver real insight
and market intelligence not available elsewhere.
Designed specifically to improve business performance and
increase profits, Prepaid Summit: Middle East 2010 will enable you
to design, build and launch a successful prepaid programme. The
event will provide you with access to banks who have successfully
implemented prepaid programmes. Gain insight through case studies,
presentations and networking opportunities.
Unlike other conferences, Prepaid Summit: Middle East 2010 is
content-led, and has its foundations in VRL's industry publications
Cards International and Electronic Payments International,
delivering senior attendees and great networking opportunities.
