“This year’s Wnet Leadership Summit is twice as special as we celebrate our 15-year anniversary and at long last, gather in-person after a long time apart,” said Mary Uslander, Wnet President and Senior Vice President, Small Business Segment Leader, Fiserv. “The conference should have record attendance as hundreds of payments and fintech leaders are excited to meet face-to-face for two days for networking and presentations by some of the most successful leaders in the global paytech ecosystem. We will hear from executives paving the way to create more creative and profitable organizations by improving diversity, equity and inclusion within their companies and our industry.”
The 2021 Summit will also be full of new opportunities as we celebrate our first 15 years and the next. “We are excited to offer an innovative conference agenda that allows attendees to invest in their wellness, career development and financial success,” said Wnet CEO Wendy Holliday. “Our new Learning Labs and Power Sessions will complement the traditional educational sessions for maximum learning and engagement.
