Carr and Chief Security Officer John R. South will participate in panel discussions at Money 20/20, the largest U.S. event for payments and financial services innovation. Heartland Payment Systems (NYSE:HPY), the nation's 5th largest payment processors, is a 5-star sponsor for Money 20/20. Carr and South will join more than 7,000 attendees, including 650 CEOs from more than 2,250 companies and 60 countries at this leading global event, from Nov. 2-5, 2014 at the Aria (News - Alert) Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Heartland's theme for the conference is "More Than A Payments Processor." Carr will participate in the "Major Processor (News - Alert) Presidents and CEOs on Acquiring and Issuing Innovation" panel from 11:25 a.m. to 12:10 p.m. (PST), Nov. 5. South will participate in the "Merchants, Law Enforcement & Cross-Industry Remedies for Cybercrime" panel from 2-2:45 p.m. (PST), also on Nov. 5. Carr and the other panelists will discuss the fundamental shifts in commerce, how processors are partnering in new ways, opening their platforms to third-party access and broadening their solutions for existing merchants and bank clients. "Heartland has grown from an independent sales organization to a leading technology developer. We introduced interchange plus pricing and were the first company to build a platform that would handle both card present and card not present with modern computers," Carr said. "Now, we have our hands in Apple (News - Alert) Pay, tablets, online ordering, POS and security solutions. Anticipating our merchants' needs, Heartland has shifted with the times and we're looking forward to continuing to be a major player in the next chapter in payments innovation." Carr will be joined by Troy Woods, CEO, TSYS and Charles Drucker, CEO, Vantiv. Steve McLaughlin, managing partner, FT Partners, will moderate. South's panel will tackle the serious threats occurring today by persistent and sophisticated cyber criminals. The panelists will explore how merchants are fighting back through cooperative partnerships with each other, relevant industries and pblic-sector stakeholders. "In order for businesses - large and small - not to become targets for cyber criminals, they have to invest in security. Before Heartland was breached, we were already working on security solutions, but after the breach, we doubled down and now offer the most comprehensive solution available - Heartland Secure," South said. "If the right security measures aren't in place, it's not a matter of if a business will be the victim of a cyber attack, but when. I'm looking forward to sharing solutions that can be immediately put in place." South will be joined by Steve Mancini, program manager, brand and consumer protection, National Cyber-Forensic Training Alliance; Jason Berryhill, special agent, United States Secret Service; and Jim Cameli, chief information security officer and divisional vice president, Walgreens. Brian Dodge, EVP communications and strategic initiatives, Retail Industry Leaders Association, will moderate.
