The Biometrics E-Symposium™ will be held online on the September 28, 2005. Its international outreach, cutting edge topics and line-up of world-renowned experts already makes it one of the 'must-attend' fixtures of this year for the corporate, government, law enforcement and criminal justice communities.

London (PRWEB) August 24, 2005 -- The world’s leading industry associations have joined forces to support a ground-breaking Biometrics E-Symposium™ which will see world-renowned speakers hold live cutting edge presentations on the 28 September 2005. The E-Symposium™ format means that delegates around the world will be able to listen to live and archived presentation by world-renowned speakers from the convenience of their workplace. System requirements are very basic (a soundcard and an Internet connection), no plug-in or software are required to join in and registration is free of charge.

Delegates will have the choice of two streams, Corporate & Government and Law Enforcement & Criminal Justice, both of which will feature cutting edge presentations and round table debates by world-leading experts.

As part of the Biometrics E-Symposium™ launch, registration is free of charge and includes access to live presentations with Q&A functionality, access to the presentation archive thereafter, access to a cutting edge technology showcase, access to the DelegateBlog™ and access to DelegateChat™, a web-based instant messaging platform which enables delegates to chat amongst each other live, both in public and private chat rooms.

The E-Symposium™ is hosted by the leading international biometrics industry bodies: the International Biometric Industry Association, The International Association for Biometrics, the European Biometrics Forum and the Biometrics Institute.

“This is one of the most exciting developments on the biometrics event landscape in recent years. The E-Symposium™ overcomes time and finance barriers to offer a knowledge-sharing platform across all geographical boundaries”, says Walter Hamilton, Vice President and General Manager, Biometric Solutions for SAFLINK Corporation and Chairman of the International Biometric Industry Association.

Clive Reedman, Managing Director of Identity Solutions and Chair of the International Association for Biometrics, agrees, “The Biometrics E-Symposium™ comes at a time when a lot of biometric intelligence is still scattered, misunderstood and, at times, inaccurate. This E-Symposium™ will help us assemble cutting edge biometrics issues of the moment and discuss associated topics such as standards, best practice and technology on an international scale. Such dialogue is vital to the biometrics market growth.”

“Biometrics is a sector which needs urgent demystifying and the Biometrics E-Symposium™ will do just that,” says Martin Walsh, Chairman of the European Biometric Forum.

For Ted Dunstone, CEO of Biometix, Chair of the Technical Committee at the Biometrics Institute, the benefits are clear, “Being able to join in from Australia without having to leave my office is a definite draw. This convenience has meant that we can create a high profile speaker line-up throughout and expect attendance levels to dwarf offline conferences.”

Val-Pierre Genton, Managing Director of e-symposium Ltd and Chair of the Biometrics E-Symposium™ believes that the E-Symposium™ is key to accelerating the sector’s development, “The speed and transparency of the knowledge sharing process is one of the deciding factors in market growth. The E-Symposium™ doesn’t segregate professionals with budget or time constraints. Instead, we make knowledge and intelligence easily accessible and allow a truly global dialogue to develop.”
