10.00 – 10.40 Security in question – Contactless & NFC
We’ve heard arguments about how secure (or not?) Contactless and NFC payments are, but what are the ‘secure elements’ on offer now? We look at the groundwork carried out on winning confidence with cards and what differs when security is provided by the secure element (SE) on the phone. What is real and what is hype?

Following the worldwide interest in our Contactless & NFC City League www.contactlesscities.com we have been collecting data to show the great efforts made by individual cities to push forward contactless and NFC technology. This session provides an opportunity for some of the successful cities to share their learnings. Discussion topics will be on interoperability and national rollout strategies, as well as lessons learnt throughout Europe.
15.00 – 15.30 Networking Tea SPONSORED by Escher
15.30 – 17.15 Networking Groups in our Contactless World
A selection of industry working groups based on topics that will be relevant for fast tracking solutions discussed in the morning. Please pick which group you would like to co-operate in. Understandably, in order to create outcome and future results, space will be limited so our groups will be served on a strict first come, first served basis. Each Group must then raise a question for a group they have not sat in, whilst the chair of each Group compiles a summary of their group’s findings. Each Group Chair will present to delegate their group findings. Each Chair will then sit on a panel to take the 4 questions raised and debate.

NEW! The Contactless & Mobile Award Categories 2012
Competitive Advantage.
Contactless / NFC technology, if utilized professionally, can give even a small company a huge advantage over a giant corporation. We are looking for evidence of competitive advantage within a business environment achieved through the use of Contactless / NFC technology. Open to any industry sector.
Transportation and Ticketing.
Awarded for the best use of Contactless / NFC technology within the transportation and ticketing environment. Be it public transport or tickets for events, this award is aimed at those companies who have embraced the new Contactless / NFC technology to deliver their specific products to a mass audience.
Mobile Payment application of the Year.
With so much energy going into NFC payment applications for mobile payment solutions, there is a vast number of payment apps available in the market; each with their own distinct characteristics. From mobile wallets to pure payment solutions, this category aims to reward one company for doing the most to bring mobile payments to the mass market.
Contactless / NFC Innovation of the Year.
This year has seen Contactless and NFC technology move beyond payments. A number of companies have embraced Contactless / NFC technology, be it with location marketing, museum guides, and even on-line note taking. We are looking for the Innovation of the year. Does your company have an innovation that uses Contactless / NFC technology that you think deserves an award?
Best Customer Experience.
Which company has done the most to deliver an exceptional customer experience through the use of Contactless / NFC technology? Are there any companies who are now bringing the Contactless / NFC experience within the reach of smaller businesses? How did they do it? What were the results? We would love to hear about them and who knows, there may be an award in it for them.
Loyalty.
What could be a better sector just waiting for Contactless / NFC technology than the loyalty industry? With so many loyalty cards out there today – all waiting to be integrated into a mobile phone – surely this industry sector is the one embracing new technology the most?
Public Domain.
The rise of Contactless / NFC technology hasn’t just hit the retail and banking community – it has also had a huge impact on the public domain. From health to local government, from education, to local services, this technology is being embraced and utilized like never before. Does your organization work in the Public Domain? Do you use Contactless / NFC technology? Should you be entering the CMA this year?
Best Marketing Campaign using Contactless / NFC Technology.
Smart posters, in-store endorsements, social networking, location marketing – this last year has seen, for possibly the first time, a roll-out of marketing campaigns from a number of marketing and advertising agencies who have embraced this new technology within the heart of their campaigns. It’s an exciting time and one that promises to deliver more and more. Has your (or perhaps your clients’) campaign used Contactless / NFC technology? If so, sign up a nomination today!
Best Contactless / NFC Infrastructure.
It’s not always happening at the front end. Without a solid and reliable infrastructure in place, containing tags, registers, readers, POS terminals – you name it - nothing would happen. This time it’s the turn of the backend players to have the ability to win an award in their own right, for putting together a suitably impressive project, rollout or venture. Step out of the shadow and into the spotlight!
Contactless / NFC Eco-System.
Small-scale pilots are a thing of the past now. When it comes to Contactless / NFC technology, developers are thinking much bigger and better. Citywide projects are in place to bring the benefits of this technology to as many application areas as possible; payments, posters, tourist information services, public transportation and even parking – is there such a thing as the best Contactless / NFC eco-system project? Let’s find out!
There are also two further awards that Visa Europe will present themselves;
