Biometrics & Identity Management Summit 2012

Biometrics is a key facet of our nation's law enforcement, intelligence and security efforts. As the application of biometrics has advanced in different fields and industries, the potential for biometrics technologies in law enforcement and criminal justice system cannot be overstated. Establishing an individual's identity with certainty provides our military and law enforcement an edge but also aids other federal, state and local government organizations.

Recognizing the growth of Biometrics in the broader context of identity management, IDGA has developed a unique two day conference program and pre-conference 'Small Platforms' Focus Day that will educate you on the advancements in biometric technologies and the tactical implementation of this technology in areas including:

• Law enforcement (Local, State and Federal)
• Intelligence
• Public Safety
• National security
• Military
• Corrections Population Management.

Partnering with the foremost experts who are shaping the practical application of biometrics, IDGA has expanded this program to address a wide array of biometrics based tracking. Attendees to this conference will be able to better assess the relevance and practical application of biometric tracking covering:

• Facial recognition
• Digital Fingerprinting
• Iris Recognition
• Vein Reading Technology
• Hand Geometry
• Ear Shape
• Gait Analysis (Walking Patterns)

Engage with the leading technology providers and the agencies that have applied biometrics in the field to gain tactical advantage and better identify and track individuals of interest. Understand the technical considerations in mobile settings and assess whether a particular mode of tracking best suits your needs. Meet the federal agencies that have developed and are maintaining biometric databases. Leverage this data to better manage populations in your jurisdiction. Meet and collaborate with your state and local counterparts to develop more comprehensive biometric data managemen
