About this Event
What to expect
Elevate Sydney is an evening of insights and networking for ambitious eCommerce and retail brands. The flagship annual event of Hello Clever, an Australian FinTech and Payments innovator.
Revealing our 2026 report
Most people assume their payments are working fine, until they actually look at the data. We pulled 7.42 million pay-in records across 208 Australian merchants to find out what's really going on, and we're bringing the eCommerce and payments industry together in Sydney to unpack it properly.
- Fewer payment attempts are landing more revenue, not less
- There's a precise speed threshold where a payment stops being safe and becomes a coin flip
- Cashback, the thing most merchants think builds loyalty, is quietly doing something else entirely
- One finding in this report surprised even us
What you'll walk away with
- The 3 numbers costing merchants the most money right now, most of which nobody's measuring
- What actually separates the merchants pulling ahead from everyone else
- Why cashback might be working completely differently than you think
- How Hello Clever is building product directly off these findings
Who should come
Online retailers, business owners, payments leaders, finance decision-makers, and anyone who makes the calls on checkout, cashback, or retention, and wants the evidence behind those decisions, not another product pitch.
What's happening on the night
Real data. A live product demo. An interactive session to test what you've picked up. And genuine conversation with other people in the industry about what's actually working. Food and drinks provided.
Spots are limited. Secure yours now.
