INTERACTIVE POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS
These workshops are designed to take your conference experience to the next level. Workshops allow you to take the information you gained from the general sessions, and identify and focus on your individual needs and applications. Make the most out of this conference by attending these highly interactive, hands-on sessions. Space is limited to ensure interactivity!

Implementing Biometrics: A Step-By-Step Process To Ensure Project Success

During this workshop, you will learn best practices for biometric system implementation to help you avoid common pitfalls and ensure success. You will leave with a step-by-step check list that can be tailored to your own biometric project.

• Understanding and defining key requirements - such as business, technology and legal requirements
• Matching the right technology to the application
• Determining unique biometric considerations and risks
• Addressing system integration considerations
• Ensuring best practices for enrollment, interoperability, data privacy and security
• Considering human factors and the physical environment

WORKSHOP LEADER: Walter Hamilton, Chairman, International Biometric Industry Association and Sr. Consultant at Identification Technology Partners. Walter has 12 years of experience in the biometric field resulting in broad insight into what is required for successful biometric system deployment. He also actively participates in several industry organizations that contribute to the advancement of the biometrics and identity management fields.

1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
AFTERNOON POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP D

Thinking Big: Understanding And Preparing For The Future Of National-Scale Multimodal Biometric Systems - - Including Growing Data Sizes And User Expectations

There is an approaching tidal wave of biometric data just over the horizon. The use of biometrics is growing. Accurate identity management is becoming increasingly more important, and all over the world people are turning to biometrics to meet this need.

National-Scale multimodal systems represent the largest systems currently being considered, and the hopes for these systems are ambitious. Imagine the problems that will have to be addressed when a biometric database contains a significant percentage of a nation’s population, and potentially all of the foreign visitors who cross their border. Tomorrow’s biometric systems will have to cope with enormous data sizes and enormous expectations of biometric users. This workshop will be an informal and interactive exploration of ways to prepare for the future and to "Think Big" about biometrics.

• Defining "big"
• Ensuring flexibility in large scale systems
• Overcoming the problems with scaling
• Tuning large systems with small tuning data sets
• Understanding identification vs. credentialing systems
• Addressing special considerations for national scale biometric systems
• Applying lessons learned in domestic and foreign deployment to your own biometric systems
• Preparing for new frontiers

WORKSHOP LEADER: Mark Cavanagh, Lockheed Martin Biometric Engineer, has over 10 years experience in the biometrics industry, starting as a member of the IAFIS algorithm development team. He has worked on several biometric systems and is currently working in Lockheed Martin’s biometric and identity technology research and development program.
