The Phoenix Forum wrapped up this past Sunday, March 25th, and Segpay joins in thanking the show hosts, sponsors and everyone who attended and made it a successful event.
Besides having the chance to re-connect with clients, partners and good friends – and seeing Cathy, our CEO, speak on a panel discussion examining which billing trends are “real vs. hype” – we took away the following from our time in Phoenix:
- Regulations were the talk of the show, and understandably so. From SESTA/FOSTA’s controversial anti sex-trafficking measures to GDPR’s data privacy protections to Age Verification requirements in the UK, the entire industry is preparing for change. As we recently announced, Cathy was named a board member of the Free Speech Coalition (FSC), giving Segpay a front row seat in preparing and advocating in advance of regulations like these. So please feel free to use us as a resource or a sounding board to discuss your own thoughts and ideas about these, or any other governmental policies affecting you.
- Cryptocurrency was another hot topic in Phoenix, as it has been at every recent show we’ve attended. Bottom line, there is a place for it in our industry, and although several companies are trying to crack the code, things are still a bit premature in terms of having a viable base of crypto-paying consumers. However, significant capital and investment is funneling in to help things along.
