Future of Cash – Continuing the Conversation

Following the success of the Future of Cash online event in February 2021, the organisers – AGIS Consulting and CashEssentials – are continuing the conversation and providing a coherent story of today’s cash challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities. The next virtual event – taking place 6-7 July – will focus specifically on the Asia-Pacific region. The physical event is still on track to go ahead on the 9-10 November, in Madrid, Spain.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching consequences on human and economic activities, including on cash, payments and money, says Conference Chair Guillaume Lepecq. For many observers, the pandemic has acted as a catalyst and accelerated existing trends. In particular, it has aggravated the ‘cash paradox’, ie. increasing demand for cash but declining usage as a payment instrument.
