.......................The Event............................

Now in its sixth year, the annual Digital Money Forum will
be two days of interactive discussion and debate from the
centre of the digital money world.

The Forum is not about technology or marketing: it is about
the whole subject of the digitisation of money and the
implications of that process for individuals, businesses
and governments. A central theme of the sixth forum will be
the resurgence of interest in new technologies for cash
replacement: peer-to-peer electronic payment, contactless
smart cards, mobile phones as mobile wallets and so on.

Both speakers and delegates will be leaders in the field,
looking at the evolution of retail electronic payments from
the consumer, regulatory, bank, merchant, legal, sociological
and other perspectives. With experts in financial systems,
interactive TV, mobile commerce, mass transit, retail and
related subjects gathered together, the Forum will continue
to be the place to be for anyone who wants to understand
Digital Money.

Last year, the audience came from Europe, North America and
the Far East to discuss topics ranging from the plans of
banks and payment schemes and new European regulation to
commodity and community currencies. This year, the subjects
already on the agenda include the success of mass transit
operators in replacing cash at points of sale to mobile
payment schemes and from the digitisation of local exchange
trading systems to electronic cash in developing countries.

.....................The Programme..........................

Keynote speakers:
Riel Miller from the OECD on the future of money
Economist, author, journalist and BBC broadcaster Diane Coyle

Presentations by:
Simon Lelieveldt from the Dutch Electronic Money Association

Please note that due to the continued success of the Forum, we
have again decided to limit the number of places in order
to preserve the much-valued interactive nature of the event.

   Further information can be found at the Forum web site

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, the Forum will
again cost only 595 pounds Sterling per person excluding
VAT.

The fee includes the forum, documentation, meals, cocktails
and drinks around the champagne tables.

This is a not-for-profit event and any surplus generated is
distributed, as in previous years, to a variety of mainly
local charities. Recent beneficiaries of our events have
including the Fountain Centre for Palliative Cancer Care and
the Surrey Centre for the Visually Impaired.
