The Direct Response Forum's annual two-day event is unique.  It's not your typical conference, driven by underlying sales or marketing motives. There is no expo or exhibit hall and attendees are encouraged to spend 'down time' between sessions talking informally with their peers, building relationships that last beyond the closing session.  The purpose of this event is to cultivate a learning environment where knowledgeable professionals network and share information without the distractions of overt sales and marketing activities.  Merchant attendees come away from the forum with:

• Practical information to improve payment processes in their respective organizations
• An opportunity to exchange strategies and tactics with other merchants and card company representatives in a neutral venue
• A renewed enthusiasm for the world of CNP payments
• Lasting relationships with experts that can be leveraged beyond the two days spent together at the forum
