What Attendees Are Saying About Glenbrook’s Payments Boot Camps:

“The Payments Boot Camp was a great foundation for understanding the payments landscape. The material did a great job of covering baseline and emerging payments topics, the presenters were knowledgeable and engaging, and it was a great opportunity to network with people in the industry.”
—Todd Callow, Sr. Mgr, Business Development – Intuit

“The content is highly relevant for anyone in the payments industry, even newbies and seasoned industry veterans. I had significant payments experience, yet much of what Glenbrook presented was new to me – or put what I already knew into a new, helpful context and filled in gaps. Meanwhile, the presenters are incredibly knowledgeable but also charismatic, which makes for lively and engaging sessions. They were happy to answer more detailed questions during breaks and after the sessions concluded.”

“Glenbrook’s Payments Boot Camp provided a comprehensive overview of payment systems in the U.S.  I was particularly impressed with the amount of material the training covered while mastering the ability to organize the information into digestible bites.  The information provided on Card, Check, ACH etc. was informative regardless of how many years you may have in the payments industry.  Of particular interest was the discussion around emerging payments (eCommerce, Mobile, POS, B2B etc.).  Great job Glenbrook!”
