Convene Willis Tower The Loop, Chicago.
Not a conference — a call to action
No fluff. No filters. Just real strategies from real merchants.
This isn’t just another industry meet-up — it’s a high-caliber event, curated for senior decision-makers and hosted in a world-class venue.
It’s not just built for merchants.
It’s built around them.
With a 5:1 merchants-to-vendors mix, the room is full of peers solving the same problems you are—fewer sales pitches, more candid conversations that move the needle.
Built for senior operators. Expect strategy you can run on Monday: real case studies, post-mortems, and playbooks—not surface-level trend talks.
Topics are sourced from attending merchants, so the program tracks your real challenges, not sponsor talking points. Your priorities shape the conversation.
Hands-on, merchants-only rooms to pressure-test ideas, swap war stories, and leave with actions—not just notes.
A curated headcount keeps discussions intimate and high-signal, making every question count and every connection meaningful.

The program
This isn’t just another industry meet-up — it’s a high-caliber event, curated for senior decision-makers and hosted in a world-class venue.
Broad, high-impact topics with panelists offering multiple perspectives & real-world experience (~400 attendees).
Focused sessions (<150 attendees) on specific challenges — tactical, practical, takeaway-driven.
Intensive working groups (<30 merchants) solving shared problems, often by industry vertical or region. (No vendors.)
Who's in the room
Setting strategy and owning the loss numbers.
Fighting disputes and protecting authorization rates.
Keeping marketplaces and platforms clean.
Designs secure and frictionless onboarding and identity verification flows.
Supports merchants and founders in building safe, scalable businesses.
Together. Sharper. Stronger.
Because the fraudsters don’t care about your market share — and neither do we. We fight smarter when we fight together.
