Testimonials

The Baltic Payment Forum, held in Vilnius on April 25, impressed me with its multifaceted group of speakers and welcoming atmosphere. The forum's discussions on new technologies, banking regulations, and the situation in Ukraine provided diverse perspectives and industry insights, making it an informative and valuable event for all participants.

The cozy setting made it easy to network and build new professional relationships. Moreover, the event was professionally organized with attention to every detail—from the quality of invited speakers to the venue and catering.
