Primer Showcase 2026

Payments are entering a new era. In this opening keynote, Primer CEO & Co-Founder, Gabriel Le Roux, explores the forces reshaping the industry, how the role of payments is evolving, and why the next generation of payment teams will be built on intelligence, not fragmentation.

Payment leaders from some of the world’s most ambitious businesses discuss where they’re investing, how they’re evolving their departments, and the capabilities they believe will matter most over the next few years.

We'll unveil new capabilities that make our payments infrastructure more modular, giving businesses greater freedom to evolve and scale without rebuilding what already works.

Every failed payment is a customer who wanted to buy and couldn’t. Every unnecessary decline is revenue the business never sees. In this session, Sid Reddy, Director of Product at StockX, shares how the team built a payment strategy that turns more purchase attempts into successful transactions.

Hear from our panel about the realities of scaling globally, from localization and payment performance to FX, treasury, and cross-border money movement. They’ll share how they’re simplifying increasingly complex financial operations while building the foundations for sustainable international growth.

We'll share how we’re connecting more of the payments journey, with new capabilities that give teams a clearer view and more control before, during, and after a payment.

As loveholidays has grown and expanded into new markets, its payments strategy has evolved alongside the business. Andrea Feinberg, Head of Payments, will share how the team balances performance, cost, and risk while building the flexibility needed to support its next phase of European growth.

In this session, representatives from across the payments ecosystem explore the trends, technologies, and challenges shaping the industry, sharing how leading providers are preparing for the future of payments.

Take a break to connect with peers, make a call, catch up on work, or join one of our breakout rooms for one or two expert-led, practical how-to sessions packed with ideas and takeaways you can put into action right away.

Breakout room 1 - 13:50 · How to understand and reduce payment fees: Learn where payment costs come from and the tactics you can use to reduce them.

Breakout room 2 - 13:50 · Checkout horrors: The small mistakes that kill conversion: A practical teardown of real checkout experiences, revealing the friction, confusing payment flows, and design missteps that cost conversions.

Breakout room 1 - 14:20 · Why getting reconciliation right is critical to your payments strategy: Learn why accurate reconciliation is a key foundation for finding opportunities to reduce costs and improve performance.

Breakout room 2 - 14:20 · Finding practical uses for AI in payments: Hear what Primer has learned from building AI Companion, then work with fellow payment leaders to identify useful AI applications and discuss what it would take to put them into practice.

Ruth Buscombe is a Formula 1 race strategist, engineer, and broadcaster who has held senior strategy roles at Ferrari, Haas, and Sauber. In this keynote, she will discuss how Formula 1 teams use data and AI to guide split-second decisions and find marginal gains in one of the world’s most demanding sports.

AI is moving from copilots to autonomous systems. Payment leaders now face a new challenge: deciding where AI can create genuine value, where human oversight remains essential, and how to separate lasting change from noise.

We'll unveil new intelligence capabilities that help payments teams spot what matters sooner, act faster, and continuously improve performance.

Every payment generates data. What you do with it is what counts. In this session, the team at Airalo will share how they're turning data into intelligence that delivers meaningful results.

We close the day with key takeaways and a look at what’s next for Primer.
