Our group was founded on the belief it is important to educate the ISO, MSP and Banking Communities with the constantly changing information our industry dictates.  We are committed to bringing you this information by involving all aspects of our community. 

Our mission is to provide a regional opportunity for training, education and networking in the Midwest acquiring community. We provide a forum for the discussion of issues related to the merchant bankcard services industry. Our annual 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 conference with opportunities to do business, dialog with the experts, hear great motivational messages and network with everyone.

We are a not-for-profit, no-membership independent forum dedicated to you. We welcome your feedback and input.
