Biometrics Institute events provide an extremely important platform for the dialogue between our members and key stakeholders committed to the responsible and ethical use of biometrics.

As the world faces new and unprecedented challenges and opportunities, building a resilient community and continuing our conversations on good practices has never been more important.

Due to the coronavirus, we have postponed our ID@Borders Conference from April to October 2020.

But in response to the success of our extraordinary online meeting in March, part of our US Conference, we are now planning more webinars to keep that dialogue moving.Ā 

This is a free event discussing biometrics at the border for Biometrics Institute members.
