European merchant payments are going through a period of real transformation. It’s no longer just about technology, but also about regulation, geopolitics, scale, and rising expectations from both merchants and consumers. That’s why it’s more important than ever to hear directly from leaders who are working at the heart of these changes.
MPE 2026 keynote speakers include:
- Brice van de Walle, EVP Core Payments, Mastercard
- Mathieu Altwegg, SVP, Head of Product & Solutions Europe, Visa
- Marco Conte, VP Product, AI Data & Insights, IXOPAY
- Fabian Muessig, Head of Solutions Engineering EMEA, Shopify
- Breno Oliveira, Chief Product Officer, payabl.
Together, these speakers represent the core building blocks of today’s payments ecosystem — from global networks and commerce platforms to orchestration and European PSPs operating at scale. Their perspectives reflect how payments are evolving as an increasingly connected and complex system.
At MPE, the focus has always been on providing context rather than commentary.
In 2026, that means bringing together people who are actively shaping how merchant payments work — today and looking ahead to what’s next.
We’d be happy to meet you in Berlin at MPE 2026.
