Welcome to ITPalooza 2015
Now in its 4th year, ITPalooza 2015 is set to be the best yet. During the coming months, the ITPalooza team will be working hard to bring you an event that is unique in the region and perhaps in the world. That’s because ITPalooza is the only event that brings together the entire South Florida IT community from CIOs through Tech User Groups to top local, national and international presenters and guests.
Marine Toys For Tots Drive
Every year, ITPalooza donates thousands of dollars in toys to the Marine Toys for Tots Drive. This is made possible throught the generous toy donations of ITPalooza attendees. ITPalooza offers attendees the option of a free ticket in return for unwrapped toy donations or the option to buy a ticket.
Supported Charities
Attendees can support ITPalooza charity organizations in one of two ways. ITPalooza offers two ticket types to give you a choice of how you would prefer to support our charities. Through the purchase of a ticket or by supporting the Marine Toys for Tots Drive.
Stay Connected
ITPalooza 2015 is about staying connected to our fantastic South Florida tech community. It’s about learning and experiencing insights from top local, national and international presenters and guests. It’s about sharing and giving as we honor local charities. But most of all, it’s about having some good old-fashioned FUN!

Beginning on Oct. 1, accepting credit card payments will be a risky prospect for any small business that doesn’t make the investment to upgrade its payment technology to EMV. With EMV (Europay, Mastercard, Visa) cards, the microchips make the authentication process for payment more secure.
But on October 1st, credit card companies and banks are changing their liability policy to make businesses responsible for any fraudulent payments made using a non-EMV system. In other words, if you accept a sponsorship payment of $1500, with what turns out to be a stolen credit card, the credit card company will not repay the business for the transaction. It’s also likely that insurance companies will raise rates on businesses that don’t use EMV systems

This takes valuable resources away from the development of your apps unique, core value proposition.
