Buck & Honey's Monona 

Electronic Receipts & Virtual Card Payment Solutions:

Gain a New Perspective on Payment Technologies & Credit Card Acceptance

At this lunch, we will learn about the benefits of electronic receivables and find out how card acceptance has been shifting whether its B2C or B2B. Next, we will learn how the accounts payable landscape continues to evolve, and we will explore integrated payables. 

We will hear from Bell Labs on how they have shifted their payables processing from a check-based to an automated & electronic process, and what they have gained and learned in the process. Both the receivables and payables discussions will leave you with a better understanding of how progressive payment solutions can benefit your organization.

Networking: 11:30 AM - 12:00 PM | Discussion with Q&A: 12:00 PM -1:00 PM
