The annual Congress\, back to an in-person event in London\, is the key biometrics gathering not to be missed. It provides an independent platform for off-the-record discussion among the institute’s global multi-stakeholder community. \nCongress 2022 themes: \n\n\nBiometric technology continues to develop at high-speed while the adoption of biometrics for all kinds of use cases constantly evolves. Standards are being worked on internationally but it seems regulation and legislation just cannot keep at pace. And confusion amongst the public and concern over biometrics increases. \nAs digital identity takes off in both a centralised and de-centralised modality\, questions arise about the necessary procedural responses required to mitigate against biometric ID theft\, fraud\, deep fakes and misrepresentation. \nThe Congress attracts over 250 delegates including representatives from government\,  the user community such as retail\, banking and aviation as well as biometric suppliers and academics.  \nThe 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. \nCONFIRMED SPEAKERS INCLUDE \nSee list of speakers \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Marvin Sim\, Commissioner\, Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA)\, Singapore\n \n \n \n \n \n Joseph Jerome\, Policy Manager\, Meta Reality Labs\n \n \n \n \n \n Ophelia King\, Head of Digital Identity Market Development Team\, Department for Digital\, Culture\, Media and Sport (DCMS)\, UK\n \n \n \n \n \n Fraser Sampson\, Biometrics and Surveillance Camera Commissioner\, England and Wales \n \n \n \n \n \n Patrick Grother\, Biometric Standards and Testing Lead\, National Institute of Standards and Testing (NIST)\, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n Stephanie SchuckersDirectorCenter for Identification Technology Research (CITeR)\, USA\n \n \n\nSee list of speakers \nIf you would like to know about speaking opportunities\, please email Emilia. \nSPONSORS AND EXHIBITORS \nWe would like to thank our sponsors Accenture\, Entrust\, Facetec\, Leidos\, Thales\, Cognitec\, IDEMIA\, InnoValor and iProov and our exhibitors OVD Kinegram and X Infotech.

Some of us probably have experienced what international travel looks like raising questions about the proof of health status or how to keep queues to a minimum. \nWe require strong proofing behind a health pass and the use of biometrics to anchor identity. There has been no shortage of innovation (including digital solutions) but policy is having to play catch up at times. Systems must adopt an agile and flexible framework that can adapt to the rise and fall of the threat or risk. \nThis ID@Borders Conference will explore important topics such as: \n\n Current landscape\n Digital borders and seamless travel \n Cross-border travel and migration challenges \n Country updates from air\, land and sea borders \n Law enforcement\n\nCollaboration and dialogue are crucial to form a consensus and find a path forward.
