Where did this come from?

In some ways, the concept behind the payments beer nerds — friends getting together over a pint to talk about life, work, and everything that falls somewhere in between — is as old as beer itself.

But this particular riff on that timeless classic can probably best be traced back to the dark days of the pandemic in 2020. Starved for anyone to talk to outside of our homes. Actually missing going to conferences! The payments beer nerds took that sad, step of admitting that they wanted to see their work friends and they were willing to schedule Zoom happy hours to make that happen. Four years later, that tradition continues.

Fast forward to the spring of 2023 and the ePay Resources conference in Orlando. Four of the founding members of the payments beer nerds brought that energy (if you can call it that) to a live event for the first time. That was followed up by a session at the FPC Fall Member Meeting and another at the America’s Cash Cycle and Payments Seminar. Your event could be next! Cheers to fun times and mixing business and pleasure.
