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 had to postpone our face to face US Conference from March to September 2020. However, we held an extraordinary online meeting in March 2020 to keep the dialogue on these important issues moving. 

The recording of this meeting is now available to all attendees and Biometrics Institute’s members. To access as a member, please check our Information Hub. If you cannot access this please e-mail nicky@biometricsinstitute.org.
