Banknote 2006 Conference Review
Please select a link from the navigation menu below:We once again write to express
our gratitude to the delegates, speakers, U.S. government tour hosts,
and sponsors who helped to make Banknote 2006 an informative dialogue
on future trends in this dynamic industry. Like its predecessors, this
fifth Banknote Conference® featured well-researched presentations
on a range of topical subjects, as well as several interactive tours of
interest to our distinguished audience. But in our view, the most important
feature of Banknote 2006 was its collegial atmosphere, a small taste of
which is provided in the pictorial overview below. We believe that the
camaraderie demonstrated by our participants is key to the success of
the Banknote Conferences®. We will continually strive to maintain
and build upon this good will in our future events, and hope that you
will consider joining us.
