"Cash is the most common means of payment in Germany. However, digitization and changes in purchasing behavior are causing a shift in payment trends. The COVID-19 pandemic has unsettled traders and the population and has accelerated the process of digitization. At CashCon 2022, we will collectively look at the future of cash against this background," explains Steven Schwarznau, Managing Director of ALVARA | Digital Solutions.
Participants can expect exciting expert lectures, valuable insights from the cash industry, and strategies for dealing with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Engaging discussions on topics such as automation, sourcing strategies at financial institutions, and efficiency in cash logistics will take place in the breakout sessions. The event also offers numerous opportunities for networking and exchange with experts, speakers, exhibitors, and cash actors. In the interesting and innovative exhibition area, sponsors will present their solutions and products.
The diverse program of CashCon 2022 is equally aimed at retail companies, financial institutions, and cash-in-transit companies. The focus is on current topics:
– What changes are to be expected in cash supply and disposal?
– What new ideas have been implemented? And have they proven themselves?
