To marketing,
communications and sales managers:
In
the last 13 years DIB & Associados and RPM Marketing &
Eventos organized and promoted a large number of conferences, trade shows and
seminars on banking, cards and retail technology, recognized as high quality and
effective, attracting an influential and decision making audience, and assuring
extensive press coverage. CARDS is the largest Brazilian trade show for the
cards business, held every year on the month of April, in the busiest city of
the country – São Paulo. In the period of three days of the event the main
technologies, applications, developments, solutions and trends involving credit
cards, debit cards, vouchers, payment and pre-paid cards are exhibited,
presented, negotiated and planned, signaling the beginning of a new market
evolution cycle. CARDS is addressed to all the companies that issue cards as a
means of identification, access, payment, information storage, advertising,
etc., like banks, retailers, transportation, healthcare, vouchers, service
providers and others with an emphasis on the related business accomplishments.
CARDS audience consists of a highly influential group of around 250
professionals and executives from many areas involved directly or indirectly
with the cards business and technology. The exhibition consists of around 40 key
technology and service vendors aimed at the cards market, visited openly by more
than 1,500 executives and professionals.
CARDS/2002, the event's 7th edition, will be held on April 8 - 10, 2002 at the
Frei Caneca Convention Center - Rua Frei Caneca, 569 - São Paulo, Brazil.
Market leaders and the main players, in the many segments involved, will be
participating.
Included in this description you will find all the information needed to decide
