Payments Leaders' Summit USA — November 2026

The Payments Leaders' Summit (PLS West Coast) is an invite-only gathering of senior payments leaders and budget holders from merchant organisations across the US West Coast. Clarion Events hosts this edition on 10–11 November 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa & Marina in San Diego; the series also runs in the UK, EU, Middle East and online.

The format combines keynotes and panels from senior practitioners, closed-door peer-to-peer roundtables on the merchant side, and pre-selected one-to-one meetings with solution providers that match each attendee's priorities. Discussions cover payment strategy, PSP partnerships, risk and payment infrastructure.

Who should attend CFOs and treasurers, SVPs and directors of payments, finance directors and heads of payment risk and compliance at large merchants. For PSPs, acquirers and orchestration vendors, Payments Leaders' Summit USA offers curated meetings with 100+ merchant decision-makers.

Tickets and access Merchant leaders enquire to attend on a complimentary basis, and the team confirms eligibility. Solution providers join through sponsorship packages.
