With all the advancement in technology, the way consumers interact with brands has also changed vastly. Sunil Suresh, CMO & Global VP, Strategy, Capillary Technologies has this to say: "Many brands today are realizing the importance of engaging with their customers and securing loyalty. Yet, the reality is that they are still facing challenges in leveraging technologies to help better improve their engagement strategies. With the advancing technology, it is more than crucial to ensure brands are geared with future-ready technology to build simple, seamless and continuing customer experiences.  As such, we hope to make use of this opportunity to help retailers in finding out how they can improve their Omnichannel strategies and continue staying relevant in the increasingly competitive retail landscape. We have been part of the Seamless conferences in Singapore and Indonesia in the past years and have seen great engagement with the right audience. This year, we are establishing a bigger and bolder presence in Seamless Asia 2018 and look forward to an equally great outcome from the event. "

There has also been a lot of buzz in the fintech space, and at Seamless Asia you will be able to meet companies and start-ups with the latest fintech technology.

One of our digital payments solution providers, Shailesh Naik, CEO of MatchMove, has this to say, "Our combination of prepaid cards combined with remittance and micro-credit solutions is proving to be the key enabler of tomorrow's digital payments. MatchMove's cloud-based platform offers a scalable and quick-to-market solution for retailers and e-commerce players to own fully branded and secure mobile wallets and accelerate their business growth.
