The Deutsche Bundesbank will host its seventh International Cash Conference in Hannover, Germany, from 27 to 29 May 2026.

Experts from academia, public authorities (including central banks), special interest groups and the private sector are invited to present their cash-related research papers. The programme will be headed by high-level keynote speakers.

Participation

If you wish to attend the conference without presenting a paper, please note that places will be allocated depending on availability in early 2026. Participants will need to register for the conference beforehand as written confirmation is necessary.

You will be able to register your interest using a form on this page in due time. Please be aware that we are not able to confirm your attendance until then.

Please understand that the event forms a protected scientific environment and therefore takes place under the exclusion of the press.

Nature of conference

The event will commence with a welcome reception on the evening of 26 May 2026, and will continue from 27 to 29 May 2026 with lectures and discussions.

The conference programme itself is currently being finalised.

The conference will be held in English; all papers will thus be available in English only. Conference participation is free of charge. We do not intend to publish the papers in a conference volume after the conference.
