Introduction

Glenbrook’s popular Payments Boot Camp® is a comprehensive overview of the payments industry, from the fundamentals to what’s new and on the horizon. It’s a fast-paced, focused, and fun way to get smart about payments.

This workshop will be hosted virtually over three half-days, instead of the standard two-day format. Zoom Meetings will help us replicate the in-person experience (face-to-face facilitation, lots of interactive Q&A, polling, exercises) and extend it through group chat and breakout rooms. Breakout rooms, in particular, will help participants take detailed questions offline or talk one-on-one with Glenbrook workshop leaders.

  • Who Attends

    Glenbrook's Payments Education Program is useful for both experienced managers, who often want to be updated on what's happening in areas outside of their immediate domain, and for newcomers, who need a broad overview of the U.S. payments systems to create a context for their work.

    Over 30,000 payments professionals have attended Glenbrook workshops. Attendees have included product, strategy and sales managers, technology operations and risk managers, investors, inventors and analysts, management teams from payments startups.
