Dear Government Executive:

With recent public sector biometric procurement activities in the billions of dollars, the need for interagency communication, private sector technology development, and cooperative deployment efforts has never been more pressing than it is now. Helping to secure the nation's infrastructure, databases, and borders, biometrics have become a vital part of public sector life, contributing security and convenience to federal and state agencies across the country.

In IBG’s twelve years of providing biometric policy development, system integration, testing, and equipment design services for the public and private sector, we have seen and contributed to major expansions that now infiltrate border management, transportation security, and law enforcement. With large-scale government implementations taking place around the world, and considerable advancements across the industry, it is crucial to understand the various technologies available, where and how they are being implemented, and what one can expect for the future of the biometrics market.

The Advanced Learning Institute's (A.L.I.) "Biometrics for Government" Conference will address the unique biometric needs and challenges faced by government officials across multiple agencies and include federal procurement opportunities and requirements – all while providing R&D roadmaps to the private sector organizations supporting these agencies. This conference is designed to give you the chance to examine government applications of biometrics and to introduce you to many of the key players in the biometrics industry.

A.L.I.'s conference on July 21-24, 2008 is packed with best practice case studies from agencies that have already overcome operational challenges and identified key solutions for implementing biometrics. In addition, this conference will provide you with a clear understanding of key biometric objectives and let you see how these objectives can be met.

• U.S. General Services Administration utilizes biometrics to comply with and satisfy the requirements for HSPD-12 & FIPS 201
• Illinois Office of the Secretary of State implements identity verification solutions to reduce identity theft and fraud
• U.S. Department of Commerce recognizes the role of biometric standards in achieving systems interoperability

This speaker platform will provide you with the insight you need to tackle even the toughest technical and policy issues--and move forward. Learn from forward-thinking organizations how you can build a reliable foundation for implementing biometric technologies in your own organization.

This event is the ideal forum for you to share your experiences and challenges with others, and more importantly, to take home a series of proven methods, processes and approaches for achieving desired results from your biometric initiatives. Benchmark your own biometric projects with the platform of experienced professionals and experts. The Biometrics for Government Conference offers real-world expertise and numerous networking opportunities in a productive learning environment, thus benefiting anyone interested in understanding biometric initiatives and meeting potential partners.
