Banknote 2008 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 2008 a success in hosting informative dialogues on future trends and technologies in this dynamic industry. Like its predecessors, this sixth 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 2008 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 goodwill in our future events,
and hope that you will consider joining us at Banknote 2009, to be held
in Washington, DC Fall of 2009!
