Netevia opens Combine to Win 2027 to entire payments industry after Defyne deal

Build better products. Sell more. Find your next partner. Join developers, ISVs, ISOs and agents at The Guitar Hotel, Feb. 16–18. Early bird passes: $199.

The payments technology landscape is shifting, and Netevia is making a bold move to widen its annual gathering beyond its own ecosystem. After completing its combination with Defyne Payments, the company is throwing open the doors to the entire industry—no existing relationship required.

HOLLYWOOD, FL, UNITED STATES, November 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Netevia today announced Combine to Win Summit 2027, a three-day event designed to unite the people who build financial technology, the teams that bring it to market, and the sales forces that convert it into revenue. The summit runs February 16–18, 2027, at The Guitar Hotel at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

This marks a significant expansion for the conference, which previously served as Netevia’s annual partner gathering. Following the Defyne Payments combination, the event is now open to all industry participants—developers, software companies, ISOs, agents, and creators alike, regardless of whether they work with Netevia.

Now in its third year, Combine to Win serves as a convergence point for developers and software firms to meet ISOs, independent agents, sales leaders, creators, and financial services providers. Attendees will explore emerging technology, uncover new revenue streams, and forge partnerships designed to accelerate growth.

“Great technology needs distribution. Great salespeople need products that solve real problems. And both need partners,” said Vlad Sadovskiy, CEO of Netevia. “Combine to Win brings those people into the same room. Come with something to build, something to sell or a problem to solve—and meet the people who can help you move forward.”

The event’s theme is simple: Build. Sell. Grow.

Through keynotes, panels, expert sessions, product demonstrations, and networking opportunities, the summit will bridge changes in payments and financial technology with actionable business strategies:

Developers and technical founders will find deep dives into payments infrastructure, APIs, embedded finance, and AI, plus access to software companies, distribution partners, and potential customers seeking their expertise.

ISVs and software companies can explore ways to integrate payments and financial services into existing products, generate recurring revenue, and locate partners to expand their software’s reach.

ISOs and agency owners will evaluate technology and partnership models that can strengthen portfolios, boost merchant retention, and increase business valuation.

Independent agents and sales professionals can refine their sales techniques, broaden product offerings, and build relationships that drive customer acquisition and retention.

Creators and industry influencers will connect with founders and operators, discover emerging products, and link up with companies seeking informed voices to reach business audiences.

Agenda topics span AI, embedded payments, stablecoins, lending, and emerging commerce models, including prediction markets and gaming. The expo floor will allow attendees to see products in action and engage directly with the teams behind them.

Combine to Win has attracted more than 500 attendees to date. With new tracks and programs still being finalized, organizers expect the 2027 summit to surpass 1,000 attendees.

More access. More opportunity.

Early bird passes are priced at $199, designed to make the summit accessible to independent professionals, growing teams, and established businesses.

“Learning, meeting partners and finding new opportunities should be within reach of anyone serious about growing their business,” Sadovskiy said. “At $199, we’re making it easier for developers, ISVs, ISOs, agents, creators and sales professionals to get in the room, share expertise and build relationships that lead to revenue.

“We just combined forces with Defyne, but combining to win means something broader. Bring your expertise. Find someone whose strengths complement yours. You don’t need to do business with Netevia to benefit. Come find a partner to win with.”

Growing the channel together

“Joining Netevia gives our partners more products, more support and more ways to grow. Combine to Win is where that starts. We want every ISO, agent and software company in the room to leave with a clearer plan and at least one new partner who can help them get there,” said Duayne Haskett, Chief Revenue Officer of Netevia and former CEO of Defyne Payments.
