From the organisers:

The program committee is centered on the conference theme, “Science Works.” In the past few years, science and the scientific method have been under attack, denigrated, and dismissed. AAFS President Laura Fulginiti’s plan is to offer scientific content demonstrating that forensic science provides trustworthy, objective data that can be relied upon by the judicial system, Congress, and the public. In addition, President Fulginiti wants to focus on our members who work at forensic science every day. The meeting will be a celebration of forensic science and the history of the Academy in forensic sciences.

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.
