The intersection of banknote-era techniques and digital identity systems raises technical questions for issuers and vendors. Optical Document Security 2027 addresses that agenda from 25 to 27 January in Berlin with a programme focused on applied research and practical demonstrations.
Dates and venue
The conference runs 25 to 27 January 2027 at the Berlin Marriott Hotel, 1 Inge-Beisheim-Platz, 10785. The format combines technical presentations with a tabletop exhibition that allows hands-on demonstrations during evening receptions and networking breaks.
History and technical scope
Held every two years since 1996, the Optical Document Security conference has merged with Digital Document Security to bridge physical document security and digital transaction and identity verification. The combined event targets technical audiences working on secure document design, production, personalisation and verification.
Participants often include designers, producers, specifiers, researchers and developers of security components or verification systems. The conference format privileges technical papers, posters and practical exhibits over broad commercial showcases.
Tabletop exhibition and sponsorship options
A tabletop exhibition is part of the event to demonstrate products and show examples from papers. The tabletop fee is listed at GBP £780. Organisers also offer branding opportunities covering the app, signage and catering sponsorships with published rates.
Attendee profile and B2B prospecting tactics
Typical attendees are responsible for specifications, production or verification of secure documents and for integration with digital identity flows. For effective B2B prospecting at Optical Document Security 2027 focus on technical leads, R&D managers and procurement officers for issuance and verification systems.
Practical actions to prepare
- Map presentations and posters that match your technical assets and request short meetings around them.
- Prepare concise technical demos and data sheets that allow quick comparison of alternatives.
- Consider a tabletop to run live demonstrations if your proposition requires physical samples or on-site inspection.
