About the forum
Secure documents and systems across the Americas
The latest technologies and techniques in the production and issue of banknotes, ePassports, ID cards, visas and other secure documents across the Americas.
The High Security Printing™ conferences are annual events with a specific regional focus. They cover government-specified and issued documents, with a particular emphasis on banknotes and emerging technologies for ID and travel documents. Running in tandem with each event is a trade exhibition of 30–40 companies supplying technologies and systems for these sectors.
- Currency
- Fiduciary documents
- Excise stamps
- ID cards
- ePassports
- Visas
- Vehicle documents
- Licences
Latin America is growing in importance, not just as an economic powerhouse but as a market for high security printing: many of its countries are key innovators in specification, procurement and distribution, serving their own economies and the wider region. Reconnaissance held the first High Security Printing™ Latin America in July 2012, the first event of its kind for the specifiers and producers of government documents in the region, and every year since. In 2027 it comes to Ottawa as High Security Printing™ Americas.
It is one of a trio of regional events from Reconnaissance, alongside High Security Printing™ Asia, held since 2002, and High Security Printing™ EMEA, since 2004.

Banco Central de Costa RicaFirst time at HSP Latin America, most of the presentations were really good, got to know a lot of providers and colleagues from other companies. A really fun but informative conference. We willl be coming back!
BundesdruckeriHighly pleased with the presentations, very professional when publicising their products and services masterfully. You have met the expectations of the CBH.
Central Bank of HondurasUp-to-date subjects and good content. Good agenda and excellent dinner and party on Tuesday night. I enjoyed not only seeing old friends and acquaintances, but also finding new opportunities to improve my plant with what I saw and learnt about, such as up-to-date processes and new ideas.
Central Bank of ColombiaTypical for HSP Latin America is the presence of many issuing banks and institutions covering both south and middle America and the capability to communicate in Spanish. For this we met our target contacts.
PNO GlobalFantastic event, a lot of new market opportunities.
