— Thank you to all of our 2026 attendees, exhbitors, and sponsors —
The payments landscape doesn't wait for you to catch up.
Between AI disruption, new compliance requirements, embedded payments, and a constantly shifting competitive landscape — staying ahead requires more than reading articles and attending webinars.
You need to be in the room with the people shaping the industry. You need to hear what's working right now, test-drive the tools before your competitors, and build the relationships that open real doors.
That's exactly why NEAA exists.

About NEAA
Built by Payments Professionals, for Payments Professionals
The Northeast Acquirers Association was founded in 1985 as the first regional acquirers association in the United States. For over four decades, our volunteer Board of Directors — people who work in this industry every day — have been committed to making NEAA the “go-to” organization for education, networking, and innovation in merchant acquiring.
Our annual conference is attended by payment industry thought-leaders, innovators, MLS veterans, and newcomers alike. We understand the issues, concerns, and challenges you face — because we face them too.
From a small workshop to the Northeast’s premier payments event, NEAA has grown because of one simple truth: when you put the right people in the same room, remarkable things happen.
