What does it take to deliver a new banknote series or a modern ePassport, or other identity document successfully?

As government documents become increasingly sophisticated, we have invited over ?? experts to the capital of Bankok, Thailand.

These experts will share their experience of managing these complex projects.

Our programme will explore all aspects of the design, production, authentication and management of secure documents. This includes the integration of printed, applied and electronic features – as well as the importance of organisations collaborating together to achieve excellence in project implementation, issue and use.

The event offers the chance to discuss winning strategies, successful examples and innovative new technologies, with a special emphasis on the Asia Pacific region.

Pre-Conference Monday 2 December – Workshops ID 09:00 – 12:30 The Emerging Behaviour of Fraudsters in the Modern World – The Obstacles in Future-Proofing Document Design The digital revolution is here to stay. Consumers, and therefore governments and corporations, demand self-service, and with it, remote document authentication at scale. With recent advances in AI, fraudsters have access to better tooling, and limitless source material.

In this seminar, we will take a deep dive into the statistics and findings of Onfido’s 2024 Identity Fraud Report; in particular, the emerging behaviour of fraudsters in the modern world. We will look at the current methodology employed by organised fraud rings, the importance of document design in their approaches, and potential solutions.

Michael van Gestel, Onfido

Currency 14:30 – 17:00 The Future of Cash The seminar will be led by Guillaume Lepecq, founder of the CashEssentials Think Tank, Gerd Rösl, Regensburg Technical University of Applied Sciences and John Winchcombe, Reconnaissance International.
