International Biometric Group to Host Teleconference Series on Thursday, November 11 at 1pm Eastern
IBG Monthly Teleconference Series Presents a Trio of Topics from Biometrics in Schools to Standards to Law Enforcement
New York, NY (PRWEB) November 8, 2004 -- International Biometric Group (IBG)
extends an invitation to participate in IBG’s monthly teleconference series on
Thursday, November 11 at 1:00 pm ET (10:00 am PT). In these teleconferences, IBG
will explore current topics in the biometrics industry and address questions
such as:
-What is the latest form of lunch money that kids are bringing
to school?
-What is INCITS 385?
-What role did biometrics play at the
recent Republican National Convention?
This month’s teleconference series
features three topics. Participants can select from any of the following three
tracks, which will be broadcast live in 30-minute intervals:
In the
shadow of high-profile border security biometric deployments, biometrics have
begun making headway in yet another critical environment – schools. From lunch
lines to physical access control, biometrics are beginning to assume integral
functions in interacting with students, parents, teachers, and school staff.
Tune in to hear more about the emerging roles of biometrics in the school
setting as well as case studies from schools in Wisconsin, North Carolina, and
West Virginia.
As the applicability of biometrics broadens into diverse
markets and industries, system interoperability has become an increasingly
critical issue. In conjunction with the ongoing US-VISIT Program and other
government-sponsored biometric deployments, the US Department of Homeland
Security recently announced the adoption of a new facial recognition standard.
During this segment, learn more about key standards organizations such as INCITS
and ANSI as well as the latest standards development efforts in the biometric
industry.
Law enforcement has always been the oldest vertical market for
biometric technologies. However, as law enforcement entities globally adopt more
sophisticated and complex biometric systems, the roles of biometrics in the law
enforcement sector are evolving. Hear more about the background of biometrics in
law enforcement in addition to the latest biometric installments in police
agencies around the world and the future trends for biometrics within this
space.
There is no fee to participate in IBG’s teleconference series.
