Early adopters and CEOs of the most NFC savvy companies worldwide, gathered in Milan
from November 3 – 5 at the NFC Academy Conference & Exhibition to facilitate new
discussion and progress in the sphere of near field communications.
Over all three days, 40 speakers at the NFC Academy Conference addressed key issues and
applications of the technology surrounding ID documents, access control, smart ticketing and
payment systems. Mobile content and commerce, anti-counterfeiting and social networking
were other areas which prompted lively discussion and debate from both the NFC Academy
Advisory board and all participants at the event, which included pioneers of projects taking off
in Europe, Asia Pacific, America, the Middle East and Africa.
“The active role played by all participants, even in times of economic downturn, where there
may be a stronger natural selection of technological innovations, demonstrated a clear case
to ensure ongoing investment in the implementation of near field communications,” says
Sophie B.de la Giroday, President of Wise Media.
Suvi Lindén, Finnish Minister of Communications opened the cardinal session NFC Vision
2020, and highlighted NFC’s important role as one of the key contributors to social
development and its role in creating new business growth and competitiveness.
“I very much enjoyed the conference. It was exciting to hear about NFC and other new
technologies and I will be following with great interest, how things develop in this sector.” said
Suvi Lindén.
The NFC Academy Conference & Exhibition took place in parallel to the ID WORLD
International Congress, the leading global thought-leadership symposium on automatic
identification, which saw an increase in global reach and a 10 percent increase in attendance
on last year, with 72 leading CEOs from the ID Revolution Community sharing their vision.
