SDW 2015

by Mark Rowe

Organised by Science Media Partners, the SDW 2015 exhibition is now almost sold out.

SDW 2014, the government and citizen identity conference and exhibition, drew some 1609 participants over three days; a rise of 4pc on 2013. As a multi-national event it attracted attendees from 65 countries. Some 16pc of total participants from national governments/law enforcement agencies. The June event saw 105 exhibitors on the exhibition floor. Seven exhibition stands remain for SDW 2015 (from June 9 to 11) at the newly-redeveloped QEII conference centre in Westminster, central London, pictured.

Attendance at the 2013 event was boosted by more than 100 participants at SDW InterOp – SDW’s inaugural ePassport interoperability testing event, which was not held in 2014. Underlying growth was therefore greater than 10pc.

SDW points to have appeal, with more than 66pc of attendees participated from outside the UK. Some 15.7pc of attendees to the show represented government and/or law enforcement organizations, comprising more than 250 individuals from 30 countries.

Mark Lockie, SDW Event Director, said: “The SDW 2014 event once again surpassed all previous records. The exhibition has now broadened its appeal to the entire security document community, allowing customers to experience the full range of technologies and features that go into making a secure document fit for the 21st century and, of course, the associated identity infrastructure. Meanwhile, the conference moved from strength to strength, expanding to the QEII’s largest available space in order to meet demand.”

For 2015, 110 exhibitors and an event attendance exceeding 1750 is the target, while the major conference themes will be announced with a call for speakers in the coming weeks.

Mark Lockie added; “Preparations for our 2015 edition of SDW are now well underway with more than 90 exhibitors already booked in for next June. We will be releasing our Call for Speakers shortly, and will be announcing a special programme to attract even more government customers.”
