A look at Wincor World

Annual trade fair offers an eye-opening schedule of keynotes and exhibits in a brand new venue.

August 15, 2012

Two months from today, Wincor Nixdorf will roll out the willkommen mat for its 12th annual Wincor World trade fair. From October 16–18, guests will be invited to learn, see and meet — this year, for the first time — at the spacious A2 Forum in Rheda Wiedenbrück, Germany.

By now, slates of keynote speakers, workshops and exhibits are set, covering topics both wide-ranging and in-depth. Highlights on the banking side include solutions for cash management, the redesign of branches and branch processes, and end-to-end security in retail banking. In addition, 40 product partners will join Wincor in the exhibition hall.

"Wincor World is giving visitors significant added value through keynotes and presentations," said Achim von Bremen, director sales and marketing for banking at Wincor Nixdorf. "We're providing first-hand know-how in the presentations on all three days. On the one hand, we have practitioners and visionaries reporting on their experience from projects and, on the other, experts taking an out-of-the-box look at the industries and sharing visions and forward-looking strategies."

Following is a small sampling of the Wincor World 2012 schedule:
