ETA Partners with Regional Acquirer Associations and W.net to Expand Access to TRANSACT 15

Discounted TRANSACT 15 Registrations Offered to First Time Attendees

Washington, D.C. – The Electronic Transactions Association (ETA), the global trade association representing the payments technology world, announced today new partnerships with all four regional acquirer associations and W.net to expand opportunities for their members to attend TRANSACT 15.  ETA will offer discounted TRANSACT 15 registration rates to the Northeast Acquirers Association, Midwest Acquirer Association, Southeast Acquirers’ Association and Western States Acquirers Association event attendees that have never attended TRANSACT, as well as all W.net members. TRANSACT 15 will take place in the technology hub of the nation, March 31 – April 2 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, and registration is open today with limited early rates available at www.transact15.com.

“Through the new partnerships we announce today, we make TRANSACT attendance possible for small businesses and agents, extending the opportunity to attend TRANSACT to all payments professionals,” said Jason Oxman, CEO of ETA. “To further support our regional acquirer partnerships, ETA has added an EMV Summit at TRANSACT, which will provide instrumental information to ISOs and Agents as they lead merchants through the upcoming EMV Migration.”

“We are honored to support the important work of W.net through our new partnership,” Oxman added.  “We share the W.net vision to ‘drive parity for women in payments’ and we will make TRANSACT 15 a platform to advance this mission together.”

TRANSACT 15 will be the largest payments industry event in ETA’s history, featuring more than 4,000 industry professionals, more than 200 exhibitors, keynote speakers from the world’s most innovative companies, and the payments industry’s best and largest networking events.
