Deepen Your Payments Knowledge at Payments MAGnified 26

Payments MAGnified 26 returns February 17–20, 2026, at the Gaylord Pacific in San Diego, and registration is officially open. This high-impact event is designed for payments professionals looking to go beyond general updates and immerse themselves in specialized, merchant-driven learning.

If the MAG Payments Conference helps you understand everything happening across the industry, Payments MAGnified helps you apply it. Here, you will dive deeper into the issues that matter most to your career stage, your industry vertical, and your specific payments challenges. Payments MAGnified 26 offers business and tech tracks, merchant-only SIGs, targeted breakouts, peer-to-peer conversations, and real-world case studies that fuel actionable learning.

Why Attend?

For merchants, Payments MAGnified 26 is built around what you need most today: depth, relevance, and real operational impact. You’ll gain:

Focused Relevance: Sessions and merchant-only SIGs that match your career stage and industry needs.
Peer-Led Insight: High-trust discussions with merchants who share your challenges and have walked your path.
Actionable Outcomes: Tools, frameworks, and case studies you can implement immediately.
Career Advancement: Specialized expertise that strengthens your role within your organization and the industry.

For solution providers, this is where precision meets relevance. The more focused environment allows you to:

Connect with targeted merchant segments who are actively seeking solutions in your domain.
Build authentic, high-value relationships through collaborative problem-solving and quality conversations.
Strengthen your position as a trusted advisor in a setting designed for depth, not volume.

MAG Members and Tech Forum Sponsors’ registrations grant access to the MAG Tech Forum, where developers, engineers, product leaders, and solution providers explore the technical realities behind payments innovation. From tokenization and orchestration to authentication and agentic commerce, you get practical insights that shape smarter decisions and stronger partnerships.
