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.

Our next event will be the 2009 MWAA 7th Annual Conference at the brand new Westin Lombard Yorktown Center Hotel in Lombard, IL.  Lombard is a western suburb of Chicago.  We invite every payments professional to two and a half days of outstanding presentations, plus feasting and festivities with nearly 500 of their colleagues. 

Online registration for the MWAA 7th Annual Conference will open May 1st, 2009.

The MWAA is actively seeking 2009 conference sponsors. Your generosity is sincerely appreciated.  Please review the Latest News or Sponsorship Appreciation Dinner tabs to the left on this web site for sponsorship levels and benefits.
