Middle Market Summit 2019 | Commercial Payments International (CPI) | 18 June 2019 | Convene Chicago, 16 W Adams St, Chicago, IL 60603, USA

According to a recent survey from the National Center for the Middle Market, more than 70 percent of middle market companies reported improved year-over-year company performance. *

CPI is providing an expanded Middle Market Summit program this year, reflecting the growing opportunities to better serve this varied market segment.

Opportunities will abound to provide cards and payments services that help these companies continue to thrive. Eliminating time consuming manual processes, addressing their cashflow needs, and transitioning them into the digital age are just some of the ways financial services can help with improving performance.

Fresh discussion topics include:
• Translating consumer digital experiences into business digital experiences
How can banks leverage the successes they’ve had on the consumer side to create better experiences for their business customers?

• Understanding the vast universe of FinTechs
There are more FinTechs than you can keep track of. Understand how to differentiate their services and determine who to partner with; as well as identify your greatest competitor

• How to best meet customer needs
While it may seem a no-brainer, not everyone does it. What are buyer and supplier pain points and how do you alleviate them? And middle market companies vary vastly when it comes to their organizational structures.
