A Full Programme for HSP EMEA in Sofia

The next HSP EMEA 2023 event will be held in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, on 4-6 March 2024 and the organisers are expecting a sell-out event, with key decision makers from central banks, suppliers and printers coming together to discuss and learn about a range of topics from cash usage and trends in the region, sustainability and resilience in print to physical and digital technologies, security features and design.

The event will be preceded by three seminars – two of which relate to currency. One from counterfeit expert Kerre Corbin will provide an in-depth analysis of a major counterfeiting case in the UK (Operation Timerbrier).

The other, on the Future of Cash, will be led by Antti Heinonen, former Director of Banknotes at the ECB and Guillaume Lepecq, founder of the CashEssentials think tank. It will focus on understanding the changing cash environment and what stakeholders are doing to optimise the cash cycle and ensure the future viability and sustainability of cash.
