14th Annual Biometrics for Government & Law Enforcement. The 2020 Vision: Transforming the US Government with Biometric Data and Technology.
Dear Sir/ Ma’am Welcome to the 14th iteration of the Biometrics for Government & Law Enforcement Summit! Over the years, growing advancements have been made in mobile biometrics, automation, contactless passage, verification, multimodal and analysis processes. With the growth of innovative technology and the plethora of biometric data, it is imperative to know how to utilize solutions to ensure national security, vet potential threats, and enhance customer experience at facilities such as the airport. Learning what solutions your counterparts are utilizing to secure their facilities, exchanging and storing data and how to navigate rising policy and GDPR requirements has become extremely crucial. The Institute for Defense and Government Advancement is providing you a place to assess your challenges and network to gain solutions. Our dedicated event staff will provide you with the opportunity to network with and learn from top level government security and biometric officials, program managers, heads of biometrics and CTO’s of international and commercial level companies. Don’t miss out as we tackle the world of Biometrics for Government & Law Enforcement on February 26-28, 2020 in Washington, D.C. See you there! Shuki Hasson Program Director Biometrics for Government & Law Enforcement Summit Institute for Defense and Government Advancement.
