Small businesses are learning to embrace cutting-edge technology – like all-in-one point-of-sale (POS) systems – to modernize operations, increase customer engagement, and expand payment acceptance. Adoption of these comprehensive, integrated systems is on the rise, allowing small businesses to compete in an increasingly digital marketplace. Now, as AI continues to disrupt industries, small businesses grapple with acknowledging and applying AI technology in business operations.

In this session, Matt Nicholas, Head of ISO Strategic Partnerships at Fiserv, will explore the digital revolution of small businesses through the lens of the point of sale. Alongside leaders from Clover, Paysafe, and Payroc, a panel of experts will unpack emerging trends in technology adoption among small businesses – including AI – and, through use cases, provide insights on practical applications for small businesses.
