From an Idea
to a Movement.
FoPCC is a growing ecosystem bringing together the people, ideas, technologies and institutions shaping the future of payment and commerce in Africa.
Shaping the future of commerce.
The Future of Payment and Commerce Conference (FoPCC) began in 2023 as the Paycom Conference, created to bring together the innovators, institutions, businesses and thinkers shaping Africa's rapidly evolving payment ecosystem.
The first edition opened conversations around the transformation of how people pay, transact and participate in the economy, creating a foundation for a much bigger conversation about the future of commerce.
Four chapters. One movement.
From Paycom to FoPCC, each edition has expanded the conversation and moved the ecosystem closer to what comes next.
