Optical Technologies Shine in ODDS 2025 Programme

The programme for the 2025 Optical & Digital Document Security™ (ODDS) conference, which takes place 15-17 September in Warsaw and is supported by the International Optical Technologies Association (IOTA), has now been finalised, reaffirming its position as the technical forum for physical, digital, and virtual document security.

With eight themed sessions curated by a globally respected technical committee, the agenda encompasses cutting-edge research and field-tested applications, underscoring the relevance of optical science in the context of document security.

A notable feature of this year’s conference is the strengthened focus on optical technologies as engines of innovation.

These systems—ranging from diffractive structures and nanophotonic devices to colour-shifting materials and deep- subwavelength OVDs—form the backbone of modern document authentication, particularly as the threat landscape shifts with AI and quantum computing.
