World Money Fair’s 19th Technical Forum Returns as Live Event

The Technical Forum returned as a live event this year when the World Money Fair took place for the 50th time from 3-5 February in Berlin. It was the Technical Forum’s 19th event and the first one live since 2020, having been forced by COVID to hold the two previous years as online events instead.

Whilst the World Money Fair returned in its previous format and experienced high footfall similar to prior years, the Technical Forum returned as both a physical and online event, and in doing so attracted just short of 400 registrations. Allowing for several viewers per online registration, and more subsequent digital viewings following the event, this has to have been a very successful change.

The Forum, which took place on 2 February, featured 14 x 15 minute presentations divided into three sessions. These are available to view online, but in the meantime, below is a short summary of the presentations in the first session. The second and third sessions will be covered in subsequent issues of Coin & Mint News™.
