The 2nd Tax Stamp Forum will be held in London on June 14-15, and the organisers, Reconnaissance International, are inviting papers related to its theme - Effective Programmes to Maximise Revenues.

Of particular interest will be presentations relating technologies and systems that result in an increase in government revenues and a decrease in contraband and counterfeit products. Also of interest will be papers looking at the socio-economic and regulatory environment that is driving the proliferation of programmes around the world, at authentication and track and trace solutions. Reconnaissance International is also looking for presentations from different countries demonstrating successful solutions and best practices.

200-300 word proposals should be submitted by January 31, 2009 to Astrid Mitchell at Reconnaissance International ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).
