The EBF Biometrics e-Symposium™ is a full-day online conference hosted by the European Biometrics Forum. The European Biometrics Forum is an independent European organisation supported by the European Commission whose overall vision is to establish the European Union as the World Leader in Biometrics Excellence by addressing barriers to adoption and fragmentation in the marketplace. The forum also acts as the driving force for coordination, support and strengthening of the national bodies. The e- Symposium™ will be broadcast live & online on the 22 March 2007 and is accessible to anyone with a computer, a soundcard and an Internet connection. The presentations consist of a slideshow coupled with the speaker's live, spoken presentation. Each presentation lasts for 20 minutes, followed by a Q&A session of 10 minutes. The online conference is kicked off by a high profile keynote, followed by a round table debate of leading industry experts. This is then followed by cutting edge presentations held by world-renowned speakers and sponsorship sessions presenting the latest developments, thinking, strategies and technologies. So to ensure that no delegate misses out on any of the presentations due to time differences or agenda clashes, each presentation is archived and made available after the live event.
