Our Mission is to provide a regional opportunity for training, education and networking in the Midwest acquiring community.  To do this we host a dynamic three-day conference in a Midwestern city every July.  The conference covers the latest developments, sales opportunities and newest products in merchant bankcard. 

The professionals who come to the conference include merchant level salespersons (MLS), bankers, ISO managers and owners, consultants, industry experts and vendors.  We pack the three days with opportunities to do business, dialog with the experts, hear great motivational messages and network with everyone.

If you're a payments professional, come to St. Louis and be part of the action!

Our next event will be the 2008 MWAA 6th Annual Conference at the lovely Renaissance St. Louis Grand & Suites Hotel.   We invite every payments professional to three days of outstanding presentations, plus feasting and festivities with over 500 of their colleagues. 

Are you a Merchant Level Salesperson?  Where else can you meet Greg Gumbel, hear about the future of the payments industry and maybe win Cabo vacation in our Great Passport Give-Away?  MLS can qualify for a $50 rebate card with early registration.  Don’t miss this one!
