Tempe, Ariz., Oct. 20, 2009 — TSYS announced today that Bob Philbin, president of TSYS Acquiring Solutions, and Ashim Banerjee, chief information officer for TSYS Acquiring Solutions, have been selected to participate in the annual Lydian Symposium.

Officials from the pre-eminent leadership conference selected the payments industry-veteran Philbin to participate in their CEO panel, and the Silicon Valley-spirited Banerjee to be a member of their disruption panel. Held annually in New York City and hosted by Market Platform Dynamics, the symposium assembles a "Who's Who" list of influential executives from the top businesses in the payments industry. Philbin and Banerjee will be joining keynote speaker Warren Buffett and other industry leaders to discuss the theme: "What's Next in Payments."

"I'm thrilled to represent TSYS Acquiring Solutions at the Lydian Symposium, as it is truly an honor to be associated with the conference," Philbin said. "At a time when businesses are absorbing blow after blow from the stagnant economy, the organizers of the event have noticed that TSYS has come out swinging with our new strategy for innovation."

At the symposium, TSYS Acquiring Solutions will unveil its most recent thought leadership effort, "Take 5 and Learn What's Next in Payments: Five Strategies to Impact Your Bottom Line."
