As an independent sales organization (ISO) agent (i.e. ISO Reseller), one of the best ways to take your career to the next level is to immerse yourself in the payments industry. The same holds true if you want to become an ISO agent. Step one is connecting with industry leaders.
To make things easy, industry associations like the Electronic Transactions Association (ETA), host annual trade shows to gather everyone from aspiring ISOs and value-added resellers (VARs) to large financial institutions and tech startups. Professionals attend these trade shows to network, learn, and keep up with the industry.
If you want to advance your payments industry career, here are four of the best trade shows to watch and attend in 2018.
