2 This conference gives a very good overview of the past, current, and the future for holography. National Bank of Belgium Welcome For nearly 30 years the holography conference has been bringing together the leading lights within the holography industry. This year marks the 70th anniversary since the invention of holography by Dennis Gabor. The holography industry continues to go from strength to strength with new innovations and new fields of application coming to market. So Gabor and his contemporaries should be proud of the foundations they laid with their inventions over the past 70 years that have proved such a solid base for the dynamic industry of today and the future. The holography industry has never stood still for long it is driven by innovation and opportunity. This has ensured that holograms remain the security technology of choice for banknotes and branded products as well as being widely used in packaging and other security documents. But the future is open to new markets, new techniques and competitive challenges so the 2017 conference will once again explore what is happening right now and what we can expect in the near future. We look forward to welcoming you to Barcelona, to experience the energy and life of this truly captivating European city and share with us two fascinating days packed with market insights, new knowledge, professional contacts and inspiring new ideas. Topics Security and authentication holograms Latest hologram and holographic developments Innovations in origination, materials and production OVDs for identity and currency Next generation holographic features Holograms for brand, revenue protection and packaging For more details or to secure your place, visit Dr Mark Deakes, Conference Director
