PISEC '07, the leading global event for all brand protection, authentication, and anti-counterfeit professionals, this year held in London, UK, was attended by over 150 security professionals from a variety of different fields. These ranged from representatives from leading brands such as eBay, Beiersdorf, BP and Intel, to suppliers such as FractureCode, Ingenia Technology and Securikett, to governments and institutions including the EU, Home Office and Northern Ireland Office.

With over double the number of exhibitors and brand owners attending than at PISEC '06, both the quantity and quality of PISEC attendees has risen. According to their feedback the majority of the exhibitors found the quality of delegates to be either good or very good. Already many companies have secured their participation at the 2008 event, including: Ingenia Technology, FractureCode, Payne Security, Securikett, Appleton and TUV Rheinland. Furthermore, the majority of delegates, in fact 98 per cent, said that they would return to PISEC again next year. There is no doubt that the speakers, who were secured for the event, were a contributory factor to this.

Top speakers from day one were Professor Martin Gill of Perpetuity Research and Consultancy International and Professor Russell Cowburn from Imperial College London. On day two Jacob Gotzche from FractureCode and Janice Kephart of 9/11 Security Solutions proved to be the favourites.
