The Label Printers A Platinum Sponsor of the 2015 International Law Enforcement IP Crime Conference

 
AURORA, Ill. - Oct. 13, 2015 - PRLog -- The Label Printers’ Chief Executive, Bill Kane, and Chief of Operations, Lori Campbell recently returned from Buenos Aires, Argentina where they attended the 2015 International Law Enforcement Intellectual Property (IP) Crime Conference – co-hosted by INTERPOL and the Ministry of Security, Argentina, in Partnership with Underwriters Laboratories, the conference sponsor and co-organizer. The Label Printers was a Platinum Sponsor of the Conference, that drew 600 attendees from 18 countries.

The conference theme – “Future Threats 2020 – Tools for Mitigating the Risk” – reflects the goals as explained by Secretary General of INTERPOL, Jürgen Stock, “Today’s criminals are constantly evolving, updating their methods and modes of operation in an effort to stay ahead of law enforcement. That is why we too must evolve and anticipate the possible developments of IP crime in the future."

UL President and CEO Keith Williams’ Welcoming Comments referenced the rapid change of technology and the challenges that change has created for law enforcement agencies and private companies in their fight against counterfeiting and piracy crimes. He said, “In order to maximize our impact against these adaptive and sophisticated criminal networks we must utilize every tool at our disposal, working in partnerships across national borders."

The 2015 International Law Enforcement Intellectual Property (IP) Crime Conference featured plenary sessions, operational workshops, interactive round tables sessions, and specialized/certified training sessions.  Campbell was the leader of Interactive Roundtable 1 – “Cost effective Use of Brand Protection Solutions in Labeling and Packaging”.

Kane hailed the conference as “the best show yet from the standpoint of communication – giving us the opportunity to meet new people with a possible impact on our business. For companies like The Label Printers who supply anti-counterfeiting solutions, having the opportunity to listen to the conference’s multi-national speakers – who are very knowledgeable people doing a very difficult job – and interact with so many people from around the world who are focused on the same objective, is key.”

Campbell noted that the workshops, roundtables, plenary and networking sessions gave attendees a host of opportunities to learn.  “We heard from Sergio Berni, Argentina's Secretary of Security, and Axel Kiciloff, Argentina's Minister of Economy.  Mr. Kiciloff discussed the importance of IP, especially in light of what he called a very ‘dynamic’ criminal element, operating in an environment with ‘lots of moving parts’. One of the major conference messages for me was that there are three things becoming more impactful, from which we haven’t yet seen the fallout – 3D printing, bitcoins, and drones.”

Campbell’s Roundtable included a challenge to solution providers from one of the brand owners at the conference to find low cost solutions to brand protection.  Campbell said that her roundtable experience hit home a very important point for companies such as The Label Printers.  “We have to figure out how to communicate that brand protection is not hideously expensive, and that we need to measure the cost of the problem, in addition to the cost of the packaging.”

Kane and Campbell both agreed that this conference, now in its’ ninth year, is unique in its focus and deliverables. Said Kane, “We have developed contacts with many people involved in the fight against anti-counterfeiting, and have gotten to know attendees at a level that allows us to become resources for each other.” Campbell added, “Though large, it is fundamentally a very tightknit group of people from all over the world, who are all engaged in the effort to fight against the theft of Intellectual Property and the threats and impacts represented by that theft and the criminals behind it.”
