 KEYNOTE ADDRESS - Harnessing the Power of Quantitative Analysis to Improve Your Prepaid Business
 

One of the leaders in the mathematics revolution in business management, Jeff was part of the MIT team of students who beat the casinos in Las Vegas, featured in the best-selling book Bringing Down the House, which is being filmed right now as one of the biggest films for 2008 ("21" will star Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth, Laurence Fishburne and many others). He founded and now runs ProTrade, a company that uses quantitative analysis to develop new performance metrics in assessing talent value and winning probabilities for professional sports. His presentations look at how combining seamless team work, highly developed communications skills and mathematics is vastly improving effectiveness of organizations and helping leaders make better decisions and executive business much more effectively.

Both at the blackjack table and in the world of pro sports, Ma has been able to enter what were traditionally very emotional, "gut-feel" environments and achieve success by gathering the right data, analyzing it rationally, and having the courage to follow through on the answers it provided. Jeff will discuss how to use this same quantitative-analysis approach to improve your business decisionmaking and your firm's bottom line.

 KEYNOTE ADDRESS - Leveraging the Growing Success of Prepaid in the U.S. to Reach Global Markets
 

Prepaid cards have quickly emerged as a preferred payment vehicle to replace cash and check transactions in the United States, providing end users with an enhanced, convenient and secure way to pay. The opportunity for prepaid is exploding around the world: while the lion's share of activity is still taking place in the US, growth opportunities abound in other regions. This growth is driven by new technologies such as reloadable networks and mobile payments, as well as by innovative programs that help facilitate financial inclusion and the disbursement of government funds. In this address, you'll hear about global strategies and tactics for building on the success of prepaid programs in the United States to enter new markets and reach new customers.

Laura Kelly, Senior Vice President, Global Prepaid Product Development and Management, leads MasterCard's efforts to develop and deliver prepaid program solutions to the global marketplace that enhance customer profitability and differentiate MasterCard. With direct oversight of MasterCard's prepaid business operations, Kelly is responsible for ensuring that MasterCard, its customer financial institutions and partners, succeed and benefit from prepaid program innovation and growth.
