Secure Technology Alliance Spotlights Advances in IoT Payments with New Conference

PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., June 22, 2017 -- IoT Payments 2017, a new Secure Technology Alliance event, is coming to Austin, Texas this October. IoT Payments 2017 is the only conference bringing together financial executives, device and application providers and retail industry experts for a deep dive into the evolving intersection of payments and the Internet of Things (IoT).

“The Internet of Things promises to revolutionize the payments industry by bringing added convenience to our everyday transactions – and consumers are ready for it. But there’s a lot to be considered for IoT payments to take off,” said Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the Secure Technology Alliance. “IoT Payments 2017 is a great opportunity for thought leaders and experts from both the IoT and payments communities to share their insights and collaborate with peers on the most important developments, innovations and efforts driving secure, seamless IoT payments.”
