MWAA Recap 🎥 with partners, friends and a few of many traveling rockstars at Maverick Payments From Chicago to Vegas, there’s SO much to say but not a lot of time to say it because things are MOVING here with #TeamMaverick. This recap is a little insight to how amazing it is to experience places like Chicago all while further developing my relationships and recruiting new business at conferences such as #MWAA24 ✨ I can’t express enough how great this show was Midwest Acquirers Association. Lots of opportunities to connect with various partners and vendors. It couldn’t have gone any better 👏🏼 Thank you to all of those that attended and sponsored this event. If we didn’t get a chance to connect, happy to meet virtually! https://lnkd.in/gXrBsRSY More content to come from our time in Vegas last week.

A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend the Midwest Acquirers Association show in Chicago and participate in their AI and Big Data panel. I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Jeff Shea, Jeffrey Sanders, and Genevieve Dozier, where we discussed revenue-generating examples and AI use cases in payments. Some of the topics we covered included faster merchant onboarding, KYC and risk management, proactive merchant retention, and hyper-personalization. Everyone in the room agreed that AI is no longer a nice-to-have but a real differentiator in an already competitive and low-margin industry like payments. Plus, there's something really special about discussing the future of payments and going for a run alongside the lake on the same day! Thank you again to the Midwest Acquirers Association team for the opportunity and for putting together another amazing show! If you missed it and plan to be in Atlanta next week for the MPC Digital Commerce Event, make sure to stop by the AI panel, where we'll cover similar topics related to AI use cases in payments. See you there! ✌

In case you missed it: Every year, MWAA makes a donation to a select organization. This year we have selected the Blessings in a Backpack organization. Along with our donation, we are opening up the donations to our attendees and sponsors. We truly believe this organization is so important that we want to help raise as much money as possible! Blessings in a Backpack feed children on weekends, who depend on school for breakfast and lunch during the week. No child should go home on Friday and not know when they will eat again. Join the fight against weekend childhood hunger today! Donate via link: https://lnkd.in/g8QeKkYa Thank you so much for your support for this incredible organization.

Thank you Midwest Acquirers Association for an incredible conference. It was a real honor to join my fellow panelists yesterday to discuss personal brand and marketing. We all have a personal brand, but it’s up to us on we we invest in it, build it and use it to impact the lives of others. Rod Katzfey Steven Morris Jessica Reinhardt Jeremy Epstein and the rest of the team absolutely crushed it with the agenda, the content, and the overall experience. Looking forward to next year!
