7th July – AIME Golf Day – Silvermere Surrey

Our popular Golf Day is back for 2015! Last year we saw 15 teams take to the green under clear blue skies for a great day out.

golf-icon~93990

This day is a perfect opportunity to get away from the desk and out into the fresh air in the beautiful Surrey countryside to swing a club while doing a spot of networking, and having a drink along the way. There are certainly worse ways to spend a day!

As in previous years there is the chance for you to create your own team to play and pit yourself against the others on the course.

If you don’t have enough people to make your own team, don’t worry you won’t have to miss out on the fun as we will create a team for you.

The day starts with a breakfast roll at the clubhouse and a practise swing on the driving range before heading off on the green. You will be kept refreshed through the day by the Drinks and Snack buggies that will be coming round the course. You will have a chance to try for the Nearest the Pin and Longest Drive Awards before coming back to the Clubhouse for a relaxed BBQ and find out who the winners of the day are!

Information and prices for this day can be found here: Golf Day 2015 info June2015

We will be running the AIME Future of Industry Conference the day before down the road so if you are interested in taking part in both events please contact AIME on info@aimm.co for further information and see our page for this event on our AIME Events page.

1st October – Power50 The Future of Industry Conference – Surrey

power50 conference ad

 

This one day conference will be a chance for Senior Managers to discuss important issues that are shaping the Industry.

The premium rate industry has shown decline over the past few years with consumers opting for free or other payment methods to enjoy their digital content and services, while the EU, while opening up the opportunity for tickets has clamped down heavily on transaction values and maximum monthly amounts. Apple is making big inroads into mobile payments in the US through a very aggressive land grab.

So how do you, as a senior manager in your organisation shape your future strategy to grow your business? And if the environment is affecting your business, can you shape the environment instead?

This one day Senior Manager conference, based in Cobham, Surrey will give you a chance to discuss the important issues and opportunities that are shaping your business, develop an industry roadmap for development and brainstorm strategies that will help you define your business going forward.

The day will be followed by an evening meal and an opportunity to relax and network with other conference delegates. For delegates who wish to stay overnight, accommodation is available at the venue and is a stones throw away from the Silvermere Golf Course which is an ideal location for client networking the next day.

Topics to be covered:

  • Market and Industry Future Development
  • Where the Payments Services Directive will lead Industry
  • The opportunity for eMoney on mobile
  • Higher rate Voice Services
  • Principle based payment schemes
  • Micropayment Competition
  • The decline of advertising on mobile
  • Interaction inside Social Media
  • Emerging Trends
  • Workshop: Industry Development Roadmap

PAY 360 CONFERENCE 25TH NOVEMBER – ETC. VENUES LONDON

Pay360-Gambling-Compliance-150x150

Gx has teamed up with regulatory experts Gambling Compliance to bring you an event that’s unmissable, whether you’re a gambling operator, or if you provide services to the gambling industry in any way. And it’s not just Compliance people that should attend: some of the legislation is so fundamental to profitability and corporate risk that you will probably need to bring your CEO!

On the day we’ll hear from industry experts including Philippe Vlaemminck, head of ALTIUS EU Regulatory and Trade Practice and External Legal Advisor to The EU Lotteries, who will put the new UK Gambling Act in perspective, and discuss the wider and longer term implications of this new legislation. Jon Matonis, Executive Director, Bitcoin Foundation will lead the debate into whether virtual currencies will destabilise the gambling industry or present an opportunity, and we’ll hear keynote addresses from senior policy-makers from the European Commission, the UK Gambling Commission, and the European Banking Authority on 4 key new regulatory themes:

  • The 4th EU AML Directive
  • The 3rd EU E-money Directive
  • The proposed EU Virtual Currency regulation
  • The new UK Gambling (Licensing & Advertising) Act and Point of Consumption Tax

If you’re in or associated with the gambling industry, this is one event you literally can’t afford to miss.

AIME will be speaking on the panel at this event in the afternoon.
