The MDC (Mint Directors Conference), held every two years, is the pre-eminent international event where mint directors, suppliers, retailers and other stakeholders, come together to exchange information and debate the future of coins.
Founded in 1962, the 32nd MDC takes place in Cape Town, South Africa, hosted by the South African Mint.
The first Currency Conference was celebrated in 1992 at the request of Central Banks and Issuing Authorities responsible for the Currency and Issue function, who recognized the need for a unique platform to address their specific interests and challenges, as well as their desire to network with their peers from other countries. Eighteen (18) very successful conferences later, the Currency Conference remains the premier industry conference for Central Bankers and Issuing Authorities.
Latest technologies & techniques in the production and issue of banknotes, e-passports and ID documents focused on Latin America and the Caribbean.
The conference, which provides excellent networking opportunities alongside the programme and exhibition, is complemented by a number of social events, including a welcome cocktail reception and gala dinner.
ODDS will be the platform to bring together the thousand-year experience of the banknote and ID document world with the fast-moving field of digital financial transactions, virtual ID and digital identity verification. People involved in the digital transaction, identity and authentication communities and specifiers, designers, producers and issuers of secure documents will find ODDS a valuable forum to explain, learn, network and explore possibilities.
