Fraud fighters meet here: MRC Vegas 2027 booths at ARIA in Las Vegas
Merchant fraud, payments and risk teams come to MRC Vegas to compare tools with peers, so your booth shows a chargeback or account-takeover story in one glance and keeps a seat for the deeper talk. MRC supplies hardwall booths at ARIA; we dress them with graphics, screens and light.

What makes MRC Vegas different, and how we build for it
MRC Vegas is the Merchant Risk Council's U.S.conference, where merchants' payments and fraud prevention teams meet the vendors who fight chargebacks, account takeover and payment fraud. MRC's 2026 prospectus counted 1,800+ attendees from 500+ companies, with merchants making up 58% of the room, and said exhibitors captured 5,000+ leads in the 2025 Exhibit Hall. The council supplies hardwall booths with a table, chairs and Wi-Fi, sells private meeting rooms in ARIA's Bluethorn and Copperleaf rooms, and runs workshops, keynotes and focus groups around them. Buyers here are practitioners who know the attack patterns, so the booth wins with a specific case and a quiet seat, not a slogan.
A clear before-and-after on chargebacks, false declines or account takeover, shown on a readable screen, and a specialist who can talk rules and models.
Proof of approval-rate lift and cost, integration effort in plain terms, and a booked follow-up with your solutions team.
A partner conversation away from the aisle, often in a private meeting room, with the data story printed or on a tablet.
Your team in Las Vegas
How Purple runs MRC Vegas at ARIA
Our Las Vegas shop prints the graphics fitted to MRC's hardwall and packs them flat for delivery to ARIA. A Purple project manager installs them with the Teamsters and IATSE labor Las Vegas resorts call for, sets the monitor and lights ordered through the show forms, and keeps the shop ready for an overnight reprint during the March 15–18 conference.
Inside MRC Vegas 2027
MRC Vegas rules that shape your booth
MRC supplies every booth as a hardwall FIT unit with table, chairs, ID sign, carpet and Wi-Fi (2026 package). We fit graphics and counters to that shell instead of shipping a freestanding exhibit.
Electrical, monitors, dedicated internet, custom carpet, upgraded furniture, graphics and lead scanners were not in the 2026 package. We list each order with its deadline so the booth is live at opening.
Sponsored emails must be educational and reach MRC two weeks before mailing, and focus group and social content is subject to MRC review and approval (2026 rules). We build the time for that review into the schedule.
Bluethorn rooms sit inside the conference space and need registration; Copperleaf rooms sit outside it. We match the meeting room to who you plan to meet.
Programs worth planning for
Sponsored 90-minute focus groups with merchant attendees, with content subject to MRC approval; in 2026 they sold for $25,000 nonmember or $20,000 member.
A sponsored lunch on the conference's final day in 2026, priced $40,000 nonmember or $30,000 member.
MRC Vegas 2027 offers workshops from foundational to advanced, panels and hands-on sessions; the call for speakers closed September 25, 2026.
MRC Vegas is the merchant fraud and payments-risk conference of the spring; choose it over Money20/20 USA when you sell fraud, chargeback or identity tools to e-commerce merchants and want practitioners, not the whole payments industry. Compare every software and cloud show we build for →
02 Booths & pricing for MRC Vegas 2027
MRC Vegas 2027 booth prices and what the hardwall includes
In 2026 MRC sold its own hardwall booths at 10×10, 10×20, 10×30 and 20×20, priced $10,000 to $40,000 with conference passes, plus private meeting rooms. We dress those booths with fitted graphics, a demo counter, screens and lighting, and recommend a 10×20 or a meeting room for vendors running scheduled merchant meetings.
Fitted graphics across the hardwall, one counter with a screen running the fraud scenario, and two stools for a merchant who wants the detail.

MRC's 2026 booth list stops at 20×20, so at this size we build for your other payments shows, such as Money20/20 USA or TRANSACT, and pair MRC with a meeting room.

The booth we would build for MRC Vegas 2027
The dressed hardwall with a fraud case on screen
MRC supplies every booth as a hardwall FIT unit with a table, two chairs, carpet and Wi-Fi, so the play is not a structure but what goes on and in it. Practitioners walk in from workshops knowing the attack patterns, so the wall carries one fraud case and the screen proves it.
Fitted wall graphics
Printed panels cut to the hardwall frame, with one chargeback or account-takeover number at eye level.
Case screen
A monitor ordered through the show forms, since screens and power were not in the 2026 package, running one fraud case before and after your tool.
Two-chair table
The supplied table and chairs with a fitted cover and light from above, where a risk manager can walk through rules and models.
Room kit
Portable banners and a second screen for a Bluethorn or Copperleaf room when a talk outgrows the booth.
The demo
Replay one attack pattern, such as a burst of card testing or an account-takeover login, with the tool's decision on each event and the false-decline rate beside it, because merchants here judge fraud caught and good customers kept.
The meetings
MRC sold private rooms in 2026: Bluethorn rooms inside the badge line for registered attendees and Copperleaf rooms outside it for prospects without badges, open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Thursday. Pick the room type that matches who you plan to meet.
Catch the fraudster. Keep the customer.
Your team walks into a lit, stocked MRC Vegas booth. You just show up.

Different field, same constraint: Pixee Medical needed a hands-on surgical demo that kept the aisle flowing, and a fraud demo squeezed into MRC's hardwall booth has to do exactly that.

04 Designing for fraud prevention, payments, chargeback and identity verification providers at MRC Vegas
Designing inside an MRC Vegas hardwall booth
1Dress the hardwall, do not fight it
MRC's booth arrives as a hardwall shell with a skirted table, two chairs and an 11×17 ID sign. We print panels sized to the walls, swap the table for a branded counter where allowed, and add the power and monitors the package leaves out, so the shell reads as your space.
2Tell one fraud case
A fraud manager knows the patterns better than any brochure. We build the screen and the back wall around one real-world case: a chargeback wave, a bot attack at checkout or a promotion abuse spike, with the numbers your product changed, readable from the aisle.
3Use the meeting rooms
MRC sells private rooms inside the conference space in Bluethorn and outside it in Copperleaf, open Monday to Thursday in 2026. For vendors with booked merchant meetings, we brand the room with portable walls, a screen and lighting and keep the booth for walk-ups.
4Make leads count
MRC reported 5,000+ leads captured in its 2025 Exhibit Hall, and lead retrieval is extra on the package. We place the scanner point at the counter, add a short qualifying card to the screen loop and keep the demo short so the line keeps moving.
Concept rendering
A rendering like this comes with every proposal
See the MRC Vegas booth in 3D first: layout, graphics, lighting and where products sit, revised until it is right and before any panel is cut. Pictured: a Purple concept for precise LED.

Where you could be at MRC Vegas 2027
MRC's floor plan for ARIA names the areas below. These come from MRC's 2026 brochure; the 2027 floor plan is not confirmed yet.
Exhibit Hall
MRC's hardwall booths from 10×10 to 20×20, next to the general session and foyer.
Our advice Practitioners walk straight from sessions into the hall, so the screen story must land in seconds.
Bluethorn rooms
Bluethorn 3 to 9 sit inside the conference space and need a registered badge; 4 and 5 and 6 to 9 were sold as private meeting rooms in 2026.
Our advice Best for booked meetings with attendees already in the conference, a short walk from your booth.
Copperleaf rooms
Copperleaf 1 to 10 sit outside the conference space, with no registration needed to enter.
Our advice Useful for meetings with prospects or partners who are not registered for the conference.
05 ARIA Resort & Casino · Las Vegas
MRC Vegas 2027 at ARIA: orders, rooms and labor
MRC Vegas runs at ARIA Resort & Casino, 3730 S. Las Vegas Blvd, inside the conference space MRC books there: an Exhibit Hall, a general session room and a foyer, with Bluethorn rooms inside the badge line and Copperleaf rooms outside it. The 2026 booth package covered the hardwall, carpet and Wi-Fi but not electrical, monitors, dedicated internet, graphics or lead retrieval, so we order those through the show's service forms. Las Vegas shows use Teamsters Local 631 for material handling and IATSE Local 720 for rigging and AV, per Purple's Las Vegas venue guides. Your Purple project manager supervises the install with the labor ARIA and the show require, and our Las Vegas shop prints replacement graphics overnight.

MRC Vegas 2027 deadlines and room rules for exhibitors
Registration for MRC Vegas 2027 opens November 10, 2026 and early bird pricing ends January 27, 2027; booth packages include a set number of passes, so extra staff cost more after that date. source
Bluethorn rooms sit inside the conference space and need a registered badge, while Copperleaf rooms sit outside it, which makes Copperleaf the room for prospects who are not registered. source
Sponsored emails must be educational and reach MRC two weeks before mailing, and focus group content goes through MRC review under the 2026 rules, so write it early. source
The 2026 booth package left out electrical, monitors, dedicated internet, graphics and lead retrieval; each one is a separate service order with its own deadline. source
MRC's 2026 booth table listed one price per size, but passes for member-discounted booths could vary by membership level, so settle your MRC membership before signing. source
Who you meet on the floor
They are the core of the room, 58% merchants in 2026 per MRC, comparing tools against the chargeback and account-takeover patterns they fight daily.
They weigh approval rates against fraud losses and look for vendors who can improve both.
MRC lists them in its audience; they come for the merchant side of disputes and payment risk.
They attend the foundational to advanced workshops and the focus groups that sponsors run with merchant attendees.

MRC Vegas exhibitor questions
MRC Vegas 2027 exhibitor questions, answered
When is MRC Vegas 2027?
MRC Vegas 2027 runs March 15–18, 2027 at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, per the Merchant Risk Council. Exhibit Hall days and opening times for the 2027 edition are not confirmed yet.
Where is MRC Vegas 2027 held?
At ARIA Resort & Casino, 3730 S. Las Vegas Blvd, the same resort as the 2026 conference. MRC's floor plan places the Exhibit Hall, general session and Bluethorn rooms inside the conference space and Copperleaf rooms outside it.
How much does a booth at MRC Vegas cost?
MRC's 2026 prices were $10,000 for a 10×10, $20,000 for a 10×20, $30,000 for a 10×30 and $40,000 for a 20×20, each with two conference registrations per 10×10. 2027 sponsorship details are not confirmed yet. Our graphics, counters and screens come on top.
What comes with an MRC Vegas booth?
In 2026 a 10×10 included a hardwall FIT booth, a skirted 6-foot table, two chairs, a waste bin, an 11×17 ID sign, neutral carpet and conference Wi-Fi. Electrical, monitors, dedicated internet, custom carpet, graphics, lead retrieval and catering were extra.
Can we bring a custom booth to MRC Vegas?
Not a freestanding one: MRC supplies hardwall booths, so the shell is the organizer's. We design inside it with fitted graphics, counters, screens, lighting and furniture, and we brand a private meeting room if you want more space than the booth sizes allow.
Can we book a private meeting room at MRC Vegas?
MRC sold private rooms in 2026: Bluethorn 6–9 inside the conference space and Copperleaf 1–10 outside it, each $20,000 nonmember or $15,000 member, open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Thursday. We bring portable branding and AV for the room.
When does MRC Vegas 2027 registration open?
Registration opens November 10, 2026. Early bird pricing ends January 27, 2027 and regular registration ends March 3, 2027, per MRC. Booth packages include conference passes; extra staff register separately.
Who attends MRC Vegas?
Merchant payments and fraud prevention teams, financial institutions and industry experts. MRC's 2026 prospectus cited 1,800+ attendees from 500+ companies, with merchants at 58%.
Are MRC Vegas booths cheaper for MRC members?
Not the booth itself in 2026: MRC's booth table showed one price per size, noting that passes for member-discounted booths may vary by membership level. Sponsorships and meeting rooms had separate member and nonmember prices.
What sponsorships does MRC Vegas offer?
The 2026 menu included wall banners, branded meeting rooms, keynote introductions, focus groups, receptions, an espresso café, a charging lounge, Wi-Fi and keycards, from $7,500 to $100,000. We produce the printed and built pieces for whichever you choose.
Can you install at ARIA?
We can. Your Purple project manager leads the ARIA setup alongside the union labor that Las Vegas resorts call for, orders power and screens through the show's forms, and keeps our Las Vegas shop on standby for reprints.
How is MRC Vegas different from Money20/20?
MRC Vegas is a practitioner conference about fraud and payments risk, run by a merchant membership group, with organizer hardwall booths. Money20/20 USA is a large open expo for the whole payments industry. Fraud vendors often do both.
Is there an MRC event in Europe too?
Yes: MRC also runs MRC Dublin, a member-only conference held November 2–4, 2026. MRC Vegas is the council's U.S. conference and the one with a full Exhibit Hall in Las Vegas.
Is MRC Vegas worth it for a fraud prevention startup?
Yes, if you sell to e-commerce merchants: 58% of the 2026 room were merchants, per MRC, and the smallest hardwall booth cost $10,000 in 2026 with conference registrations. Budget graphics, a monitor and power on top, since the package did not include them.
Before you sign for MRC Vegas
Five things to ask every builder quoting MRC Vegas:
- Can you print graphics fitted to MRC's hardwall FIT frame and hang them at ARIA without damaging the shell?
- Which orders, from power and monitors to internet and lead retrieval, will you file through the MRC service forms, and by when?
- Can you brand a Bluethorn or Copperleaf meeting room with portable pieces that leave no marks?
- How will your project manager work with the Teamsters and IATSE locals on the ARIA install?
- If MRC changes the 2027 booth sizes, how fast can you resize the graphics?
What MRC Vegas exhibitors ask us
MRC supplies the booth. Is there anything to build? Yes, the inside. The hardwall comes with a table, chairs, an ID sign, carpet and Wi-Fi (2026 package) and little else, so fitted graphics, a monitor, lighting and a counter decide whether a practitioner stops.
Booth or private meeting room: which pays off? Each serves different people. The booth catches practitioners between sessions; a private room, $15,000 member or $20,000 nonmember in 2026, holds the scheduled talks. If your list is mostly unregistered prospects, a Copperleaf room fits better than a Bluethorn one.
The 2027 prices are not out. How do we plan? Plan from the 2026 figures: $20,000 for a 10×20 and $40,000 for a 20×20, each with conference passes. MRC lists 2027 sponsorship as coming soon, so we design to the 2026 sizes until it publishes.
