Rio Delivers a Stunning Display for HSP LatAm

This year’s High Security Printing (HSP) Latin America, the 12th edition of the conference, returned to Rio de Janeiro, where it all began with the inaugural event back in 2012.

The sell-out conference was both a homecoming and a reminder of how far the event has advanced in its 13 year history.

Over 310 delegates attended from 143 organisations and 42 countries, including 137 from Latin America and the Caribbean.

The ratio of supplier organisations to government (including central banks and law enforcement) – an important metric for any conference – was three to one.

The twin track programme delivered two workshops – including one a full-day hands-on discussion on cash sustainability together with the International Currency Association.

The programme then delivered 47 presentations over two days, starting with the regional landscape for secure documents, concluding with initiatives to battle counterfeiting, and ranging from design, security, substrates and features to production and print, sustainability, and combating fraud in-between.
