World-leading secure document and next-generation identity event SDW 2016 has sold out all stands in the additional exhibition hall space that was opened up to meet exceptional demand.The additional space was opened last December after unprecedented demand saw the original exhibition sell out some six months before the event's 10th annual edition, which will be held on 10-12 May in the QEII Centre, Westminster, London.There will now be a total of 130 identity and secure document companies and organisations represented at the event. Organisers, Science Media Partners, have confirmed that this year has seen the event's fastest-ever sales, underlining the rising interest worldwide in document security and identity trends.Mark Lockie, SDW 2016 Event Director, and Managing Director of Science Media Partners, commented: "Security issues related to government document and identity programmes are increasingly in the global spotlight. We are proud to be hosting such an exciting showcase of the latest identity technology in the SDW 2016 exhibition, and will also be offering an insight-packed conference programme that really gets to the heart of the issues facing the industry."The expanded exhibition space will host a seminar area, where visitors will be able to attend a variety of free sessions highlighting developments and innovations in the sector.The SDW exhibition is free to attend – simply register online here.
