HSP Latin America Builds Back Better

After two years of COVID inflicted disruptions, Reconnaissance International was able to restart the acclaimed series of High Security Printing Conferences with a fiesta feel in Mexico City (14-16 March) with seminars, presentations, key notes, an exhibition and prizes… lots of prizes!

One can never quite be sure how a conference will ‘go’, particularly when it is nearly three years since the last HSP Latin America. But with over 300 delegates from 140 organisations and 40 countries (a record number for the event), it appears that people were keen to meet and had a lot to say. The conference was sold out and had a welcome and refreshing buzz and business to it.

The conference started with a seminar on sustainability followed by one on digital security printing. We heard from and about suppliers across the entire cash cycle, alongside familiar names such as CCL Secure, Hunkeler, Landqart and Oberthur. We also heard from the Royal Mint at the start through to Prosegur and Cash InfraPro talking about cash management. The central banks of Costa Rica and Mexico spoke and then took part in a panel discussion about the role of central banks in sustainability, with Mexico laying out a highly structured long term programme of activity.
