In this digital age, the card gives brands an unprecedented ability to reach and target individuals. However, millennials and Gen Z are very different groups and each requires a distinct set of marketing strategies. The constant in both groups is the preference of experiences over tangible items. This presents great opportunities for issuers and manufacturers to grow their businesses. How can we create strategies that resonate with a more informed and educated customer base that is the most evolved in our history? We need to go beyond the card to focus on experiential marketing and producing real, authentic and digitally-engaging brand experiences.

Plastic cards are an integral part of our everyday lives, proving your identity, allowing you to shop, and granting authorized access to your workplace. They contain personal information and value and require effective protection against the pervasive risk of card fraud and tampering. Join this session to learn about the range of security inks available today and how they integrate with various elements of card production including technical considerations to offer optimal protection in response to the needs of the various card segments and card applications. From cards with basic security demands to those requiring high-level security, inks add a new dimension to anti-fraud and anti-tampering protection allowing for multi-level authentication. Additionally, you will learn how security inks do not limit creativity and design and can enhance your card designs, making them beautiful and secure. The program will also feature a look at overall trends in security features for plastic cards such as for hot stamping, mag stripe and LED inks.

The Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic has caused huge disruptions in all aspects of global life, including the transaction card industry. It is likely that, until an effective vaccine and/or herd immunity have been developed, these disruptions will continue. How does the card industry adapt to this “new normal” of social distancing while continuing to protect its employees, adjust its supply chains, adapt its product offerings and serve and support its customers? This panel will discuss alternative strategies in each of these areas as well as offer insights into projections these changes may have on the industry.

Looming over all is the threat of an eruption in the Persian Gulf, which can push oil prices higher.
