History of the High Security Printing Asia Conference

 

Both this event, and its sister event, High Security Printing™ EMEA, were acquired by Reconnaissance – specialists in consultancy, publishing and events for the currency, ID and authentication sectors – in 2009. The two events – which were founded in 2002 and 2004 respectively – were joined by a third in 2012 – High Security Printing™ Latin America.

The conference has been a major success story. It has given the region a forum for high security documents where new products, technical developments, problems and solutions have all been aired and shared for the benefit of government departments, central banks, state and commercial security printers and paper mills, security feature suppliers and developers, systems integrators and other interested parties.

In 2012, we extended the reach of the conference to incorporate its neighbours with strong historic cultural and business ties – namely the Middle East and Africa.
