International Commercial Cash Operations Seminar
08 September, 2013
The next few months will feature some of the best currency focused events of the 2013 / 2014 conference season. In this article we hope to offer some insight into the upcoming ICCOS events in Miami, Bangkok and Istanbul. Currency operations executives who have attended these events in the past already know the enormous value ICCOS represents in information, education and networking. For all others who have considered attending (and for those who have not) we encourage you to make these events a “must attend” priority. There are very few currency-specific conferences (ICCOS Americas, ICCOS Asia, ICCOS EMEA, The Banknote Conference and The Currency Conference) and the value they offer to our industry is vital and significant. In addition, we at Counting On Currency are proud to be associated with them all as Media Sponsors. Following is a summary of the next three events:
