2010 Annual Biometrics and Forensics Summit

This year’s theme, “Biometrics & Forensics on the Edge: Resetting for Continued Success,“ drives the requirement to support the warfighter by resetting our biometrics and forensics capabilities through enabling, facilitating and championing development of biometrics and forensics capabilities in Army, Joint, Interagency, Allied, Coalition, and national organizations. The expeditionary force of the future must leverage all available technologies and capabilities to prosecute full-spectrum operations in highly complex conditions and environments. Biometrics and Forensics are critical in meeting that challenge.

The purpose of this summit is to assemble leaders, warfighters, and subject matter experts from across the Biometrics and Forensics community to discuss how innovative training and technology will collectively shape the future in a way that sets the conditions for success against any emerging threats on the current and future battlefield. Key to this overall effort is the imperative to challenge the entire community, particularly industry, to produce creative, innovative biometrics and forensics solutions. We cannot and will not be satisfied with the status quo and business as usual. Our warfighters deserve the best we can offer. Plenary speakers will share their expertise, vast experience, and insights to the summit as a whole, while breakout panel discussions, featuring experts with a broad range of experience and expertise, will give conference attendees an interactive forum for focused discussions and specific recommendations to problem sets.
