2. WELCOME
Optimit is pleased to welcome you to the int’l conference ART meets
SECURITY 2015.
Security incidents happen. In the ‘Biggest Art Crimes Countdown’ series,
we analyzed notorious thefts from Boston’s Gardner museum, the theft of
‘The Scream’, the theft of 239 artworks of the hand of a single thief and
the dubious honor of triple attacks on Rembrandt’s ‘The Night Watch’.
Could these crimes have been prevented? A high number of crimes
could have been prevented given the right preventive security measures
in place. There is although no such thing as watertight security. Total
and integrated security also consists of measures for quick detection,
alarming and response.
This conference is a unique opportunity to meet and network with your
peers, learn about Art Security from subject-matter experts and share
ideas and best practices.
It is our privilege to count all of you as members of the Art Security
community and we look forward to a great conference together!
