September 17, 2025 (Purcellville, VA) - The Secure Cash & Transport Association (SCTA), a nonprofit group representing professionals in ATM servicing, cash handling and processing, transportation, and safekeeping of cash and coin throughout North America, is set to welcome attendees to its annual conference in Chicago on October 1-3, 2025. The annual SCTA Conference supports the Secure Cash & Transport Association’s overarching mission to protect, strengthen, and unite the cash-in-transit and cash-servicing industries.
This year’s conference centers on the theme, “Cash in Motion: Navigating Change, Seizing Opportunity,” which reflects a pivotal moment in the cash industry as innovation, regulation, and market shifts reshape how cash is handled, valued, and secured.
The conference brings professionals and thought leaders together to review critical trends and issues impacting the cash industry's safety, security, and overall success. David Birch will deliver the keynote address at the 2025 Conference. Birch is an author, advisor, and commentator on digital financial services, as well as an international keynote speaker and recognized thought leader in digital identity and digital money. His latest book, “Money in the Metaverse”, co-authored with Victoria Richardson, focuses on bridging the gap between the creators of metaverses and financial services strategists looking to create value from virtual worlds, digital assets, and digital identity.
The 2025 SCTA Conference will feature more than a dozen informative sessions delivered by leading experts in cash-in-transit, banking, retail, security, cybersecurity, insurance, and compliance. The full schedule for the event can be found at scta.securetransportassociation.org/agenda.
