Secure Document World 2014

by Mark Rowe

Some 99 exhibiting companies and more than 1550 attendees were present over the three-day event SDW (Secure Document World) in London in May, say the conference and exhibition organisers Science Media Partners. Within this, conference delegate numbers rose from almost 350 in 2012 to 427 in 2013 – a rise of more than 20 per cent say organisers.

In total the event had participants from a record 65 countries, 17pc more than in 2012. Of these, 52.3pc came from outside of the UK, and just over 12pc came from outside of Europe, demonstrating the increasingly international nature of the event.

Overall, 18pc of attendees to the show represented government organizations – and a further 12pc were commercial end users, from sectors such as aviation, transportation and logistics. The remainder were made up from security printers, industry suppliers, integrators, consultants, academics and media.

Six weeks after the doors have closed, 74pc of SDW 2013’s exhibitors have already confirmed their participation at SDW 2014, which will be held on June 16 to 18, 2014, again at the QEII conference centre in Westminster.

Mark Lockie, SDW Event Director, said: “Every year since we started this journey seven years ago, this event has registered impressive growth – despite some of the most challenging general economic conditions. As well as an expanding market, we believe our success is down to a strong conference programme, an extensive exhibition that covers all areas of the secure identity document industry, and an industry-leading programme of awareness across the globe. Our attendees are also one of our best sources of marketing. Our post-event survey of attendees saw satisfaction scores at greater than 4.5 out of 5 – a record for us, and something that makes our team very proud.”

In 2014, more than 100 exhibitors and an event attendance exceeding 1750 is the target. Visit www.sdw2014.com
