12th Annual Biometrics for Government & Law Enforcement

With acts of terrorism happening almost on a daily basis worldwide, the burning question has become, how does assuring identity help curtail terrorist operations and their travel? Maybe an even more pressing issue, how do we assure the security of the data while sharing it with the proper national and international partners?

The 12th Annual Biometrics for Government and Law Enforcement is designed to provide the necessary dialogue to answer those questions and to help drive biometric innovation & technology forward.

Key themes we will be covering in 2018 include: Verification of citizens and immigrants, Automated screening and multimodal systems for transportation and border management, Cloud and enterprise platforms to enhance interoperability, Information sharing between state, local and federal agencies, and more.
