High Security Printing: Latin America

The High Security Printing™ conferences are annual events with a specficially regional focus.  They cover government-specified and issued documents,including currency, fiduciary documents, excise stamps, ID cards, e-passports, visas, vehicle documents and licences, with a particular emphasis on banknotes and emerging technologies for ID and travel documents. Running in tandem with each event is a trade exhibition of 30-40 companies supplying technologies and systems for these sectors.

High Security Printing™ Asia has been held each year since 2002, and the High Security Printing™ EMEA since 2004.

Latin America, however,  is growing in importance – not just as a future economic powerhouse but, in the context of government documents, as a market for high security printing. Many of the countries are becoming key innovators in  specification, procurement and distribution – serving not only their own growing economies but  the wider region too. In recognition of this importance, Reconnaissance held the High Security Printing™ Latin America conference in July 2012 – the first ever event of its kind to address the needs, issues, challenges and opportunities for specifiers and producers of government documents  in the region and annually since then.
