Seven good bets for the ATMIA US conference and expo
The ATM industry's premier annual event begins next week in Las Vegas. We took a look over the agenda and picked seven sessions that are sure winners.

Strategically speaking, probably the best way to attend the ATMIA US 2015 conference is to take a team of people and parcel out session assignments for team members to report back about. There's just too much good information for one person to absorb.
However, this could require a sizeable team, given the number of keynotes, sessions and workshops on offer — not even to mention the sold-out exhibit hall and networking meetings. So the strategy, while logical, might not be quite practical.
In this case, it comes down to picking and choosing among options, squeezing as many items into the schedule as it will hold. Every attendee will end up with his or her own list of priorities, based on business objectives. Based on ours — what's trending, innovative and essential to know — we've put together our own list of seven sessions we won't want to miss:
When: | Wednesday, 11:30 a.m. – 12:10 p.m. |
What: | Session 1: U.S. ATM Industry Overview |
Who: | Sam Ditzion |
When: | Wednesday, 2 – 2:40 p.m. |
What: | Session 7: Panel Discussion: |
Who: | Moderator: Bryan Bauer Panelists: James Phillips Stuart Mackinnon Daniel Beavers Gary Faulkner David Tente |
When: | Wednesday, 2:45 – 3:25 p.m. |
What: | Session 11: Convenient Security? Enhancing the Customer Experience with Biometrics |
Who: | Bill Spence |
When: | Wednesday, 4:45 – 5:25 p.m. |
What: | Session 16: Now What?: |

Note: In the interest of fair play, we should note that two other sessions in this time slot also promise to be aces.
