Cardiff, UK. – 30 October 2007

Science Media Partners is proud to announce that Security Document World 2008 and Identity Loop 2008 are to co-locate at a prestigious central London venue, to create one of the world’s largest-ever conferences and exhibitions devoted exclusively to the area of identity and secure documents.

Together the events will comprise an exhibition with in excess of 60 exhibition stands; four half-day seminars looking at a variety of advanced identity-related topics; a full two-day conference focusing solely on ePassports, identity cards, eVisas and border control issues; an exclusive evening networking reception; and an anticipated 1000 attendees.

Security Document World 2007 attracted 40 exhibitors and more than 500 visitors, including 190 conference attendees. These visitors came from 36 countries with more than 65% of participants at the Director or Senior Manager level. The 2008 events are set to expand on this solid platform and consequently we have secured additional exhibition space at our prestigious new venue, the New Connaught Rooms, in the heart of vibrant Covent Garden, London, UK.

Following the extraordinary success of this year’s event, interest for 2008 is already proving to be extremely high. For all the latest information our event sales brochures can be accessed here:

Identity Loop 2008

The Concept

Science Media Partners Ltd conducted a widespread market review, and found that there is an opportunity, and need, for a distinct event that extends into other identity-related areas.

Our new Identity Loop 2008 show has identified a number of key areas that will complement perfectly our established Security Document World event, bringing together exhibitors, visitors and customers who are working towards common technological and practical goals.

These key areas, which will form the basis for four intense half-day seminars, include:

• Registered Traveller & Ticketing, plus other identity-based techniques used at borders, such as surveillance;
• Advanced Digital Identity Management Techniques;
• Government and Corporate Employee Credentialing, including door to desktop solutions;
• Law enforcement, including advances in mobile identification techniques and the proliferation of biometric identification tools.

Naturally, our Security Document World 2008 show will continue to provide cutting-edge and practical information for all those involved in the roll-out of documents, such as ePassports, eVisas, driving licences, national identification cards and electronic health cards. This will be achieved through a comprehensive two-day conference and dedicated exhibition area.
