# MRC Melbourne 2026

**Published:** 2026-06-23T14:00:00.000Z · **Categories:** Fraud

Sardine is exhibiting and speaking at MRC Melbourne on June 23. Connect with Chris Hughes and Matt Bourne at the event.

If you are attending MRC Melbourne, come find the Sardine team onsite. MRC Melbourne brings together payments, fraud prevention, and risk management leaders from across Australia and New Zealand for a full day of sessions, peer conversations, and networking. 
Chris Hughes, our GM of Asia Pacific, is speaking in the opening keynote, "The State of Payments in ANZ: Trends Shaping the Next Chapter," on June 23 from 10:10-10:45am AEST in the Ballroom. The session will cover how real-time infrastructure, digital wallets, account-to-account innovation, and rising fraud pressures are reshaping payments across the region, and what that means for merchants, issuers, and ecosystem partners. 
Matt Bourne will also be at the Sardine table throughout the day. If you want to talk through what you're seeing in fraud prevention or payments risk across ANZ, come find us. 
We look forward to meeting you there!
