The 2nd
Intaglio Engravers Summit (2nd
IES) is a unique event, enabling industry professionals
with a specific interest in intaglio engraving to address
this subject from a variety of perspectives and define
the future of this important art form and security technology.
The summit will take place from 08-10 September 2015
in Urbino, Italy. The venue represents a landmark in
the history of intaglio engraving and is also the home
of the IBDA Intaglio Engravers Academy
Participation in the 2nd
IES is limited to professionals active in the domain
of engraving, banknote design, printing and issuing.
The three-day event will consist of a series of presentations,
panel discussions and case studies on the subject of
intaglio engraving. The Summit will address the current
and future challenges to intaglio engraving and collectively,
summit participants will make decisions that will ultimately
define the future of intaglio engraving.
An important part of the 2nd
IES is the Intaglio Engravers Art Exhibition. Following
the success of the intaglio art exhibition at the 1st
IES, we will expand the concept in 2015 to enable all
visiting delegates to exhibit chosen intaglio artwork
and engravings from their personal and banknote-related
collections. This activity will allow engravers to develop
closer links and significantly enrich the transfer of
knowledge and experiences using intaglio artwork as
the common medium. A range of other social events are
planned at Urbino cultural venues (galleries, museums
etc.) to further promote relationship and network building
between summit delegates.
All summit delegates will also have
the opportunity to attend a number of Intaglio Engraving
Workshops, that have been specifically developed to
allow delegates learn and get up to date on the range
of latest intaglio techniques, design tools and of course,
features and processes. And finally, 2nd
IES delegates will participate in a guided visit to
the Intaglio Engravers Academy (IEA). This dedicated
school was created as a direct result of decisions made
at the 1st IES Summit
delegates will meet the IEA students, Master Engravers
Teachers and Partners, and see with their own eyes,
what can be achieved when the international intaglio
engraving community works together. This visit will
enable engravers to discover the IEA infrastructure,
technology, philosophy and the wide range of training
courses available for new and experienced engravers.
