During the upcoming Payments Canada SUMMIT 2025, Symcor’s Elisabeth Demone, SVP, Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Secretary, will join an expert panel to explore one of the industry's most pressing issues: how to drive innovation while navigating the complexities of Canada’s evolving regulatory landscape.

The panel, titled “Innovation in Payments: Maintaining Innovation and Agility in an Uncertain Regulatory Environment That May Not Be Keeping Pace,” will bring together senior leaders, including Wendy Gross (Chair, Technology Group, Osler) and Blair Wiley (Chief Legal Officer, Wealthsimple). Together, they’ll discuss how businesses can integrate transformative technologies like AI while proactively managing legal risks and compliance challenges.

As technological change outpaces regulatory development, Canadian businesses in the payments space face overlapping and sometimes competing requirements. Elisabeth and her fellow panelists will explore how organizations can balance the need for agility with robust risk management frameworks while maintaining customer trust in an environment of accelerating digital transformation.

“In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, businesses can’t afford to wait for clarity. They need to build frameworks that embrace change while staying grounded in strong risk management and compliance,” says Elisabeth. “I’m looking forward to discussing how organizations can confidently embrace transformative technologies while strengthening customer confidence.”
