PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New name, new format, new targets, new venue… there’s no doubt this year’s global event dedicated to secure payment, identification and connections is going to break the mould.
The show was first held over thirty years ago under the name “Cartes Secure Connexions”, to promote the new-born technology of smartcards. Now it has been re-named “TRUSTECH (incorporating CARTES)”, a better reflection of the way the industry and the event have evolved, and of its focus on trust-based technologies.
What’s more, this event – redesigned to encourage networking and to provide an outstanding programme of addresses – will now be taking place at a new venue which offers two events in one: the CARTES Exhibition and the TRUSTECH Confex will be held in Cannes at the Palais des Festivals from 29 November to 1 December 2016.
TRUSTECH (incorporating CARTES) is expected to bring together more than 18,000 participants from 130 countries, 400 exhibitors and sponsors, and 250 speakers.
