Scottsdale, AZ, May 13, 2013—Apriva, the leading provider of end-to-end wireless transactions, gateway services, and secure information solutions, announced that Bill Ramsey, the company’s vice president and general manager of mobile payments, will participate in a keynote roundtable session at the NFC Solutions Summit 2013. The event is scheduled for May 14 and 15 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel San Francisco Airport, located in Burlingame, California. The keynote roundtable is scheduled for May 15 at 4:15 pm.
Organized by the Smart Card Alliance and the NFC Forum, the NFC Solutions Summit is regarded as one of the premier events showcasing the potential of Near Field Communications (NFC) technology. The conference will focus on the viability of NFC for both mobile commerce and authentication purposes, and will include a number of educational sessions, roundtable discussions, and product demonstrations.
