ABOUT THE EVENT
Our Asia-Pacific Conference brings together biometric users from key government agencies, commercial organisations and technology providers to share ideas and discuss the opportunities biometrics offer and its implementational challenges.
This two-day event provides an amazing networking opportunity, and you can expect a compelling conference agenda featuring high-profile international and local speakers covering the most topical issues.
The Biometrics Institute provides a platform for rich, balanced and trusted conversations. View our Statement of Trusted Conversations to understand what makes our events unique. For example, the event will be held under Chatham House Rule and will be off-the-record (no media) to facilitate open dialogue between our members and stakeholders.
