Crunchfish CEO Joachim Samuelsson to Deliver Keynote at Payments Conference in Madrid
Crunchfish CEO Joachim Samuelsson will be a keynote speaker at the upcoming Leadership Pulse Series - International A2A, taking place in Madrid on June 10, 2026. The event brings together senior executives, central bankers, payment scheme operators, fintechs, and infrastructure providers to discuss the future of instant payments and cross-border interoperability.
Joachim Samuelsson will deliver a keynote presentation titled "Offline Architecture: The Missing Strategic Layer in A2A Payments." The presentation will explore how payment systems can be designed to remain operational when connectivity or central infrastructure is unavailable, and why offline capabilities are becoming a strategic requirement for resilient payment ecosystems.
The keynote will discuss three key topics:
- Offline Payments Within a Payment System - How can an instant payment system continue to operate without network connectivity or system availability?
- Offline Interoperability Across Payment Systems - How can users pay offline across different payment systems?
- Beyond Offline Payments - What other use cases benefit from portable user authorization?
By introducing an architectural approach that enables offline functionality both within and across payment systems, the presentation will highlight new opportunities to strengthen resilience, interoperability, and user autonomy in digital payments.
