Mobile Payments Conference

What Mobile Payments Conference does

Mobile Payments Conference (MPC - Money, Payments, Connections) is a privately held digital media and events business serving the payments, fintech, banking, cybersecurity, government, technology, and retail industries. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Atlanta with an operational office in Scottsdale, Arizona, the company operates as a multimedia marketing platform connecting top-level executives and business owners across the digital commerce value chain.

MPC's product portfolio is built around three interconnected assets: MMT Magazine (an online magazine and monthly newsletter covering news, reviews, and analysis in financial services and commerce), MPC News & Views (a content hub aggregating articles, interviews, op-eds, and on-demand event videos), and MPC Events and Conferences (the flagship annual industry gathering, most recently held as MPC23 in Atlanta in August 2023 with a 2026 conference in planning). The underlying technology stack is a WordPress-based digital publishing platform with email newsletter distribution, a press release distribution center, and event management capabilities extended via YouTube (MMT Mag channel), LinkedIn, and Twitter/X.

The company monetizes primarily through event and partner sponsorships from brands such as FIS, Discover, Fiserv, and JPMorgan Chase, supplemented by programmatic digital advertising (including Google AdSense), newsletter subscriptions, and press release distribution services. The business is small (1-10 employees), self-funded (no disclosed funding rounds), and dependent on annual event cadence and a distributed, niche media audience rather than a concentrated enterprise software customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Reuters Events: Large-scale financial services and fintech conference operator owned by Reuters/Thomson Reuters. Comparable to MPC's MPC Events line but at enterprise scale with a broader portfolio across financial services.
• Banking Dive: Industry Dive B2B publication covering banking and financial services. Comparable to MMT Magazine in vertical focus on financial services decision-makers and sponsorship-supported business model, but without MPC's event component.

Direct peers

• Payments Dive: Industry Dive publication covering the payments industry with newsletters, events, and sponsored content. Directly comparable to MPC's media-plus-events model targeting the same payments buyer personas.
• PYMNTS.com: A leading B2B digital media outlet focused on payments, fintech, and commerce — directly comparable to MPC's MMT Magazine and MPC News & Views in audience, editorial focus, and sponsorship-driven revenue model.
• Finextra: Long-running B2B news, research, and community site for financial services and fintech professionals. Highly comparable to MPC in vertical focus, content-led distribution, and enterprise sponsor base.
• Networld Media Group: B2B media company operating trade publications and events in the payments and retail technology space (e.g., Mobile Payments Today, ATM Marketplace). Closely mirrors MPC's niche payments media-plus-events positioning.
• The Fintech Times: Digital publication covering fintech, payments, and banking innovation. Comparable to MPC in target audience (fintech executives), editorial format, and reliance on sponsorships and events.
• Money 20/20: The flagship global fintech and payments conference with associated media properties. Comparable to MPC's MPC Events line as a payments-focused conference operator, though at significantly larger scale.
• Shoptalk: Major retail and commerce technology conference with associated content and media properties. Comparable to MPC in its blend of large in-person event plus year-round digital content, though with a broader retail focus.

Emerging players

• LendIt Fintech: Media and events business focused on lending and consumer credit fintech. Comparable to MPC's vertical-specialist model, though narrower in focus on lending rather than the broader payments/commerce space MPC covers.
