Web Shield RiskConnect Conference 2017: Kevin Smith Also Takes Part

FRANKFURT, Germany - March 3, 2018 - PRLog -- A well-organised and informative conference held in the Hilton Hotel at Frankfurt Airport in November 2017. It was positioned as the networking event for risk professionals. It really was a superb networking and informative event, an opportunity to meet senior global payment scheme representatives, regulators, acquirers, processors, vendors, industry risk and payment specialists and consultants, and not forgetting our knowledgeable hosts from Web Shield.

Why is this relevant now?

Well, Web Shield in conjunction with Payvision & Acapture have now just released their blog and a YouTube video, summarising the highlights of the event and some thoughts from those who presented and participated in the event, including yours truly.

Web Shield really have challenged the status quo in risk management in payments, through their products and services, technical expertise and knowledge, the training academy and now their networking event and conference.

Supporters and sponsors helped make RiskConnect possible and a success, including Payment Consultants, Payvision, iSignThis, Foregenix and Fibonatix.

Payvision also played an important role of contributing to the event's success, through their media sponsorship and capturing the two day proceedings on a short video. The seven minute video, summarising the event and engaging with most of the presenters was released on Tuesday, 27th February 2018, along with the Payvision blog.

RiskConnect 2017, was held over two days in November 2017; it brought together a wonderful array of payments and risk management experts. All noted that they may seen as professionals and experts, but all willing to meet a new industry colleague, learn something new and listen to and share industry best practices.

Presenters included senior risk management at the global payment systems, Visa and Mastercard, plus excellent and topical presentations and updates from organisations including Thomson Reuters, Verifi, IWF, HSBC, iSignThis, Vendorcom, the Malta Gaming Authority and the Brunswick and Manitoba regulatory bodies in Canada.

A couple of panel sessions were held that put some of the speakers together on the stage to take questions from the moderator and importantly to take questions from the audience.

Early on Day 1, Kevin Smith representing RiskSkill (http://www.riskskill.com/) talked through the challenges affecting the industry and participants, including understanding and managing acceptable risk considering effective risk management in the bigger business picture, and ensuring risk management is viewed as a better business enabler.

Last but not least, lets not forget the latest Web Shield book release - The Fundamentals of CNP Merchant Acceptance: Understanding High-Risk Business, 2018 edition. All attendees took away a valuable copy (or more!) of the book, an essential how-to companion for underwriters.
