14.20 - 14.45 Looking ahead in Mobile Contactless

This session is dedicated to some of the pressing question in the implementation and day-to-day use of mobile contactless devices: What happens when users need to go above limit with their NFC enabled phone? What impact does this have on the terminal infrastructure? What are the upgrade scenarios? Is there a real alternative to NFC handsets in terms of  stick’n’play or plug’n’play solutions?  

Invited companies: Visa /  MasterCard  

14.45 - 15.15 Networking Tea

15.15 - 16.30 Networking Groups in our Contactless World

A selection of industry working groups based on topics that will be relevant for fast tracking solutions discussed in the morning. Please pick which group you would like to co-operate in. Understandably, in order to create outcome and future results, space will be limited so our groups will be served on a strict first come, first served basis. The chair of each Group will present to delegate their group findings.

Group 1: Apps-solutely Fabulous  - The Apps download in a Contactless World  - who is doing what where and has the TSM proved the invaluable central hub anticipated? Group 2: How can we reassure the public about security concerns? Group 3: Staff Training & Consumer Education – what is proving to bring most success? How can this be improved? What partnerships can be developed to serve the market? Group 4: How can we move to mass deployment? Group 5: 2012 Count down  – where are we with the contactless infrastructure? 

For instant feedback and discussions, the Contactless Intelligence Expert Panel will review the output of each session and offer their opinions:

KOBN is offering a unique opportunity to join with Turkey’s most influential players – banks, transport operators, card issuers, technology providers – all brought together for the first time to discuss the wealth of contactless projects currently being implemented in this exciting market. We travel to the country to share some of the lessons learned from successful transport and payment projects taking place in the West and find out how the adoption of contactless is faring in this eastern republic.

How quickly have users and merchants taken to the technology?

How are security and privacy issues being handled?

And what technologies (NFC, smart posters, biometrics etc.) are being considered for the future?
