MDC Goes to Cape Town – at Last!

The Mint Directors Conference (MDC) was originally scheduled to take place in April 2020 in South Africa, but had to be postponed at short notice due to COVID. The event went ahead three years later, in Ottawa in October 2023, and now – five years on – is finally taking place in Cape Town, from 27-29 April, co-hosted by the South African Mint and with over 250 delegates from the minting industry taking part.

The programme will feature a range of sessions, including panel discussions on industry challenges, workshops on innovative techniques, and an awards ceremony recognising excellence in coin design and packaging.

Following the official opening of the conference by the South African Reserve Bank and a keynote speech by renowned futurist and technology strategist Doug Vining, a series of plenary sessions and breakout rooms will take place.

They include:
