Space, payments, and a very expensive pen

Anna, a NERD., on attending Adyen's event (September 2026)

An Adyen event isn't where you'd expect to start thinking about space. But that's exactly what happened.

The opening keynote took an unlikely detour (rockets, astronauts, the moon) and used it as a lens for thinking about innovation in your own organisation. It landed. And when I got the speaker to sign his book, I couldn't resist the moment.
