September 2005 News & Events

In its 11th successful year, Cards Africa 2005 will take place at the Sandton Convention Centre from 25 to 28 October, delivering unique solutions to the African finance, information and communications environment. This event is recognised globally as Africa's dedicated cards event. The event offers you the only opportunity to get up to speed with developments and innovations in African smartcard implementation. Smartcards are experiencing tremendous growth in Africa. New and exciting opportunities for the banking and mobile commerce industries in terms of payments and transactions, m-commerce and value-add applications are dominating the industry.

The smartcard is becoming an important tool for enterprises to differentiate themselves from their competition. We are entering a new era in smartcard implementation! Smartcards are evolving from being just a secure means of payment to a widespread tool for authentication, security and identity documents, as well as host to a multitude of applications. The smartcard market has grown to facilitate the mobile commerce industry globally.

Cards Africa 2005 comes to you together with Africa's leading RFID conference that will provide the latest information regarding this revolutionary technology.

RFID World Africa 2005 showcases the opportunities that exist by implementing RFID technology in an organisation. Delegates will learn how RFID technology can be implemented to achieve greater labour efficiency and reduce errors, decrease theft by enabling asset tracking, facilitate realtime personnel location, enhance security, improve demand forecasting accuracy while reducing critical order cycle times and improving the supply chain and production times.

The event will attract participation internationally and across the African continent from the following sectors: retail, information technology, security and defence, supply chain management, mining, transport, asset management and manufacturing.
