The Glenbrook Payments Boot Camp is an in-depth view of the payments landscape. The program provides an intensive, two day “deep dive” into payments systems in the U.S. – providing a unique cross-payments system view of this important industry. Throughout the two days, the Payments Boot Camp will focus on ensuring an understanding of how current trends and issues will affect the status quo and on how new and emerging players may complement – or threaten – the industry incumbents.

The program uses the U.S. payments industry as the basis for the course, but will also explain how other country payments systems differ from those in the U.S.
