World Banknote Summit 2018 | Lighthouse Communications LLC | 24 September 2018 | The Westin Grand Frankfurt  , Konrad-Adenauer-Straße 7, 60313 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Leadership forum with an impact

The World Banknote Summit provides a platform for the leaders of the banknote community to meet and discuss the most pressing issues of concern for banknotes. By coming together, we can shape the future of banknotes.

Listed by CNBC as a “Top Economic Event” in 2017, and providing the stage for the Vice President of the Governing Board of the Swiss National Bank to publically take a strong stance in favour of cash during his keynote address – this conference is designed to make an impact.

2018: Prepare for the future
The payment landscape is constantly changing as a result of factors including new technology, social behaviour, economic development, and changing regulations.

Some changes may seem negligible at first, but need to be carefully monitored, as they could indicate or lead to a technology shift, for which the banknote community must be prepared.

At the World Banknote Summit, we look at the drivers that shape the future payment landscape. Delegates will benefit from presentations that offer different perspectives on this subject, to help prepare their organisations for the challenges ahead.
