HSP 2023 Kicks Off in Abu Dhabi

All arrangements are now in place for this year’s High Security Printing (HSP) EMEA, which takes place 7-9 March in Abu Dhabi. Attendance is at near capacity for the three day event, which includes two pre-conference seminars and two days of plenary sessions split into tracks covering currency and identification.

The conference will be formally opened by the Central Bank of the UAE, with the programme sessions embracing latest regional developments, design and security, production and sustainability, understanding the cash cycle, and technology and innovation.

The pre-conference seminar relating to cash is being provided by the International Hologram Manufacturers Association on the topic of ‘DOVIDS for Currency – Technologies, Market Dynamics and Recent Developments’.

Other highlights of the event include a trip to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque , the conference dinner in the W Hotel Gardens on Yas Island (which will also host the HSP Regional Banknote and ID of the Year Awards) and, for central banks and issuing authority, a post-conference tour to Oumolat Security Printing’s printworks.
