We've been back for slightly over a week and we still can't help but discuss all the exciting information we learned at this year's All Payments Expo (APEX 2016). Between one-on-one meetings, keynote speakers, and roundtable discussions, the payments industry is more robust than ever before.

In just two weeks, the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans, LA will be filled with hundreds of companies who will gather to discuss the latest trends in the payments industry at the All Payments Expo 2016. GiftCard Partners will be there taking part in the discussion, and we are hoping you will be there too! Over 80 speakers will be featured at this year's APEX, including: Erin Wood, Director Card Programmer, from Subway, Dan Springer, President, from Great Lakes Scrip Center, Matt Davies, CEO, from Powerhouse Brands, Sarah Quinlan, SVP, from
MasterCard...and many, many more!

In just 5 short weeks the 11th annual All Payments Expo 2016 (APEX) will take place on March 21-23 at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans, LA.  GiftCard Partners will once again be attending this event and we look forward to seeing new and returning faces at the expo. By collecting the brightest minds and leading talents in retail, payments, and technology, we will learn from today's innovators, build tomorrow's businesses, and chart the future for consumer-centric commerce.

Money20/20 is the largest global event focused on payments and financial services innovation for connected commerce at the intersection of mobile, retail, marketing services, data and technology. 

The GiftCard Partners team is still buzzing about everything we learned at the
7th Annual Employer Healthcare & Benefits Congress. Thousands of professionals, from HR executives, brokers, insurance companies, service providers and more showed up to get insight into all aspects of the changing healthcare landscape through forums, sessions and speakers. It was our goal to get a better understanding of the priority level (if any) being placed on corporate wellness programs and the level of engagement that was being seen within them. Wellness programs are a huge topic and have been for quite a few years but it's important to understand what exactly makes them successful. Here are our 3 takeaways from the show (from a corporate wellness point of view).
