The 24th edition of CARTES has also added four new areas in addition to the return of most of its normal standbys.

From an original 309 applicants and 34 finalists, ten winners will be announced on Nov. 16.

Opening CARTES Nov. 17 will be the World Card Summit that will bring together leading directors from the card and identification markets. Throughout the three-day event there will be 15 card and ID programs, some a full day others a half day.
