Level Up 27

Level Up 27 is the annual conference of the Association of Payment Professionals (APP), held on April 12–14, 2027 at Park MGM in Las Vegas. This year's theme, Deep Dive Into Risk + Compliance, promises to pull the subject out of the shallow end: more than 20 sessions across six disciplines, taught by people who do the work every day.

The disciplines are risk, compliance, regulatory, security and PCI, disputes and chargebacks, and underwriting and KYC. Beyond the sessions, the organisers stress hallway conversations, mentoring for every career stage and volunteer roles that help attendees build a name in the industry. Sessions earn ETA CPP credits.

Who should attend

Risk, underwriting, chargeback and compliance teams at acquirers, ISOs, PayFacs and PSPs who want practical answers they can apply on Monday morning.
