APEX's started 10 years ago, under the name Prepaid Expo. The Expo served as a launchpad for thousands of prepaid professionals to meet clients and partners, transforming prepaid from a niche business to a core product.

As prepaid evolved to embody more and more innovations (from closed-loop currency to banking alternatives), APEX expanded to include the new players whose innovations are creating new payment partnerships.

The result is three-day networking-fueled agenda focused on creating bigger conversations around how innovation in financial services, payments and retail can create financial inclusion, speedier consumer experiences, prevent fraud and improve consumers' everyday lives.

This is where the payments industry conducts business and finds the partnerships necessary to build the next generation of payments.
