European Campus Card Association To host its 10th Annual Conference in May 2012 The European Campus Card Conference (ECCA) will be hosted by the University of Lund in Sweden, on May 20 - 22nd 2012. This is the 10th annual conference since ECCA was founded in 1992. The conference is already attracting huge interest, and delegates from all over Europe and worldwide are expected to attend. Presentations and workshops will be presented by expert speakers from Europe and the US covering a wide range of issues relating to campus cards. The conference exhibition centre, will be attended by leading worldwide card companies and technology developers, provided an insight into the current and future card technology hardware and software systems. The success of the past 10 years has been clearly visible to all who attended the conferences, and certainly proved a motivating factor for the use of campus cards and its role in the delivery of an efficient and quality service for colleges and universities. It really demonstrated to all what a campus card system is capable of providing and delivering. It also demonstrated how the power of networking to share information, experience and knowledge is so important. One of the key elements of the card conference will be the next steps on the European Education Connectivity Solution (EECS) Project. The main focus is to provide attendees with a project overview, current status and a presentation on the future of this standard campus card system, which ECCA played such a major role in on behalf of its members. The European Campus Card Association continues to become a stronger association each year and the past 10 years have been a huge success. This year’s conference will be even better and will lay the platform for the next 10 years.
