Two Seminars Drive Discussion and Debate on the Future of Cash and Payments

The Cash Cycle Seminars (ICCOS) are annual events from Currency Research (CR) that bring global knowledge to regional markets in the Americas, Asia, and EMEA.

In 2023, acknowledging the expanding role of payments, CR introduced payments topics to the Americas agenda. For 2024, it will continue this focus, adding a dedicated payments track themed ‘Payments Trends Across Africa’ at the EMEA Cash Cycle & Payments Seminar.

The 2024 Americas Cash Cycle & Payments Seminar is set for 4-7 November in New Orleans. It kicks off with two programmes on the Monday:
