Gilbarco’s McDowell Speaks About PCI Compliance at the SIGMA Executive Leadership Conference

GREENSBORO, N.C.--Scott McDowell, director of marketing, dispenser applications, at Gilbarco Veeder-Root, will speak at the Society of Independent Gasoline Marketers of America’s (SIGMA) Executive Leadership Conference at Beaver Run Resort & Conference Center in Breckenridge, Colorado on Monday, February 9, 2009. The panel discussion entitled “PCI Compliance 101” outlines the actions that petroleum retailers and convenience store operators must take to comply with Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards. These standards are designed to protect consumer card and Personal Identification Number (PIN) data in debit transactions at the gas pump and inside the convenience store.

McDowell will present the technology options for fuel dispenser and point of sale upgrades, in keeping with Gilbarco’s expertise in this area.
