2025 Chicago Payments Symposium: Trends, Technologies and Innovations

During the 2024 Chicago Payments Symposium, the moderator in a bright green dress introduces a panel session on global payments while three panelists in the room and one participating remotely look on.

Every year, the Chicago Symposium attracts repeat attendees for in-person and virtual insights while offering a sense of community, networking and fresh perspectives from new participants. In 2025, the event achieved a significant milestone — a whopping quarter century as a leading forum for thought leaders from across the payments ecosystem.

In-person and virtual attendees explored payment trends, enjoyed fruitful networking and left with actionable insights. Keynote addresses and panel discussions focused on our digital future; innovation; the payments market outlook; risk management; open finance; global, instant, retail and wholesale payments; fraud and information sharing.
