OVERLAND PARK, Kan., September 5, 2024 – TreviPay Crossroads, the inaugural two-day B2B payments conference, announces its partnership with Kansas City-based WeCode KC. The conference, which is hosted by TreviPay, the most trusted B2B payments and invoicing network, is preparing to welcome 250 finance, sales and digital leaders to Kansas City from October 2-4, 2024. The conference will showcase WeCode to help further the organization’s important mission of exposing youth to technology-based careers while giving the organization a platform to promote their programming, build their network and reach new partners.
Furthering TreviPay’s commitment to building a fintech community that is innovative and inclusive, Crossroads selected WeCode KC as its community partner.
