Are you ready to take the stage, share your expertise, and help your peers tackle the payment industry's most pressing challenges? The Association of Payment Professionals (APP) is now accepting speaker submissions for our 2026 Annual Conference!

This year, we're going down the rabbit hole — diving into the nuance, risk, regulation, and real-world solutions that define modern payments. If you're passionate about educating others and unraveling the complex, we want to hear from you.


✨ Why Speak at APP 2026?

Presenting at APP isn’t just about education—it’s about elevation. Speakers enjoy:

  • Career Growth: Establish yourself as a thought leader in the payment space.

  • Networking: Connect with peers, partners, and innovators who share your passion.

  • Personal Brand Building: Increase your visibility and credibility in the industry.

  • Collaboration Opportunities: Spark conversations that lead to ideas, solutions, and future projects.

  • Professional Satisfaction: There’s nothing like the feeling of helping others learn and grow.

  • Community Impact: Your voice might be exactly what someone needs to hear to stay compliant, prevent fraud, or improve their process. Be their hero.


🧠 What We’re Looking For

When building our conference agenda, APP curates sessions across six core topic areas:

  • Risk

  • Compliance

  • Underwriting & KYC

  • Security & PCI

  • Regulatory, Legal, & Government Relations

  • Disputes & Chargebacks

Whether you have a case study, a data-driven insight, a regulatory breakdown, or a fresh perspective from the field, we’re looking for content that informs, inspires, and ignites discussion.


🦸‍♂️ Be a Payments Superhero

At APP, we like to say that speakers are superheroes in plain clothes—people who use their knowledge to make the payments ecosystem smarter and safer. If you’ve ever thought, “someone should really talk about this,” maybe you’re that someone.

Don’t wait. Don’t overthink it. Just click the link and share your idea—we’ll walk you through the rest.

🎯 Deadline: January 5th, but early submissions receive priority consideration.
