Holo-pack.Holo-print is the only annual conference and tradeshow for the global holography industry, providing a unique forum for suppliers, producers and users to learn about the latest developments, technologies and opportunities.
The Programme
Holo-pack*Holo-print® is established as the only annual meeting for the global hologram industry, attended by senior management, technical and marketing staff in hologram companies from around the world. The conference provides the only opportunity for international cross-border discussions about the state of the industry, so it is appropriate that this year, at the 21st Holo-pack*Holo-print, that the theme is Holography: Threats & Opportunities.
This will enable papers and networking discussions on what are the threats facing holography, from new technologies to criminal activity and how the industry should be responding to them. Critically, though, the conference will also air and provide discussion of the new opportunities for holography, whether this is evolution of new approaches in established markets or new products for new applications.
The Programme
This important topic of Threats & Opportunities will be addressed by a wide range of speakers, in the following sessions:
Security & Authentication - Keeping Holography at the Forefront
New technologies (especially micro lenticulars from CMOS, Louisenthal, Bank of Australia, OVD Kinegram) are now competing with holograms as lead overt security features on banknotes. Does that mean ‘holograms’ have had their day or should they be seen as a wake up call to come up with innovative media and imagery to improve of the standard silver stripe or patch?
3D Displays -Threats or Opportunities?
The term ‘hologram’ is often used by other technologies to describe their 3D effects. A closer look at these emerging technologies could reveal opportunities for holography to piggyback rather than see them as a threat. Does the revived public interest in 3D cinema and video create an opportunity for Display Holography? And if so, can holography deliver?
Packaging
Holographic packaging doesn’t appear to be going away but does it really have a future? Are there any competing technologies for eye catching shelf appeal on the horizon? If not, why not?
HOEs: Displays, Telecoms and Environment
Are newly emerging digital methods of creating diffraction screens a threat to traditional analog techniques or do they offer new opportunities? Can photopolymeric media offer new opportunities for volume HOEs or will surface relief mass-production methods provide adequate quality for these demanding applications?
Speakers
Speakers include some Holo-pack favourites, including Alkis Lembessis (Taurus), Ruud van Renesse, Ian Lancaster (Reconnaissance), Melissa Crenshaw (Philips-Ledalite), with some more recent contributors or first-timers. These include representatives from Bayer, Optaglio, Sony, Meditag, Toppan, Dai Nippon.
Workshops
There will be two Holo-pack*Holo-print Workshops, on Wednesday 17 November. Details to be announced.
Holo-pack•Holo-print® is the only annual meeting for the global hologram industry, attended by senior management, technical and marketing staff in hologram companies from around the world. The conference provides the only opportunity for international cross-border discussions about the state of the industry, so it is appropriate that this year, at the 21st Holo-pack•Holo-print, that the theme is Holography: Threats & Opportunities.
Workshop + Short CourseImmediately after Holo-pack•Holo-print, on the morning of Wednesday November 17, there will be a workshop led by David J Tidmarsh for delegates entitled 'Conducting a SWOT Analysis in a Hologram Company - and then developing a Business/Strategic Plan'. On the afternoon of Wednesday November 17 will be a short course from optical document security expert Rudolf van Renesse on 'Securing Value Documents and Detecting Counterfeits' . This course, which forms part of the programme for the 9th Asian High Security Printing Conference, is also available to Holo-pack•Holo-print delegates.
Sponsors & ExhibitorsWe are pleased to announce that HOLOGRAM. INDUSTRIES are the Platinum Sponsor of this year's Holo-pack•Holo-print® 2010. Holo-pack•Holo-print provides an exhibition for companies to show their wares as well as sponsorship packages for companies that wish to support Holo-pack.Holo-print in its entirety.
