Showcase Australia 2023 – preparing for a responsible future of biometrics
29 November 2023
Canberra, Australia (in-person event)
DATE
29 November 2023
TIME
8:30am with registration and finishing around 5:00pm.
ABOUT THE EVENT
This year’s theme will be about preparing for a responsible future of biometrics, how it intersects with artificial intelligence, and what the implications are for privacy and data protection.
The Biometrics Institute facilitates important discussions for its members and key stakeholders about the responsible use of biometrics. This one-day event offers an opportunity to explore how we need to shape policy, put safeguards in place and what to expect in terms of technology development and innovation, all with the aim to provide a better and safer world.
During the first half of 2023 the Institute engaged with members on future predictions at its three conferences in Brussels (April), Sydney (May) and Washington DC (June). Attendees enjoyed panel discussions about the future and participated by completing a questionnaire on future predictions. The findings from this exercise will flow into the London Congress in October and this Showcase in Canberra.
With questions around AI dominating the agenda for regulators and decision-makers, this event provides an opportunity to discuss the Australian and New Zealand viewpoints on how we prepare the biometrics community for a responsible future.
