EMVCo, the EMV standards body jointly owned by American Express, JCB, MasterCard and Visa, will host its fourth annual EMV User Meeting on June 20 – June 21 at the Courtyard Marriott Downtown in Toronto, Canada.

Open to all users of EMV technology, the two-day event will bring together senior EMVCo representatives and global users of EMV technology, providing an open forum to discuss recent technical advances and the ongoing evolution of EMV standards worldwide.

Delegates attending will receive insight into EMVCo’s vision for the next generation of EMV technology. This dialogue will facilitate discussion on the current and future work of the standards body to establish a common EMV platform that will support contact, contactless and mobile interfaces for both online and offline payments.

Attendees will also receive an update on EMVCo’s technical interoperability across the EMV global network. This will include reference to the impact of electrostatic discharge in colder geographical regions and measures that can be taken by merchants today to reduce or eliminate its effect.
