HSP Latin America Returns to the ‘Land of Desert and Glaciers’

The 2024 High Security Printing™ (HSP) Latin America conference took place, for the second time in its 12-year history, in the longest and narrowest country on Earth, filled with starkly contrasting landscapes that stretch from the driest desert in the world to ancient glaciers still waiting to be discovered. That country is Chile.

The exact date of the conference was 3-5 June 2024 and the exact location was Santiago, Chile’s capital, an economic powerhouse in the Latin American region.

This year’s event turned out to be the biggest yet in terms of delegate numbers, particularly regarding delegates from central banks and government authorities. Central bank attendees hailed from Bolivia, Chile, Nicaragua, Brazil, Argentina, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Suriname, Eastern Caribbean, and the European Union, while government delegates included enforcement, customs, revenue, civil registration and immigration authorities from across the region.

Although this year’s HSP broke the record in terms of numbers, its aim is not to become so big that it loses its sense of community, which is a key attribute of all three of the HSPs (Asia, EMEA, and Latin America).
