IDENTITY WEEK AMERICA, 4 – 5 OCTOBER 2022, WALTER E. WASHINGTON CONVENTION CENTER, WASHINGTON DC 

IDENTITY WEEK AMERICA, formerly connect:ID, is the most important identity event in the USA. 

  Identity Week America is a conference and exhibition bringing together the brightest minds in the identity sector to promote innovation, new thinking, and more effective identity solutions. 

 It’s our mission to accelerate the move towards a world where trusted identity solutions enable governments and commercial organisations to provide citizens, employees, customers and consumers with a multitude of opportunities to transact in a seamless, yet secure manner. All the while preventing the efforts of those intent on doing harm. 

 The global pandemic has demonstrated how important the concept of identity and trust is in our ‘new normal’ world. We will explore how organisations are approaching the task of authenticating or identifying citizens, consumers or employees, across multiple markets and in the physical, digital and mobile domains. 

 The event offers a one-stop-shop for any company involved in authenticating human identity, whether via a secure credential, biometric, or online/digital identity solution. Whether you take part as a sponsor, exhibitor, conference delegate or exhibition visitor, Identity Week America will provide countless opportunities to network, learn and do business.

Join a dynamic conversation on the state of biometrics and identity in the security industry with special guest speaker Jake Parker, Senior Director of Government Relations, SIA.

ISC West 2022 – the world’s premier security conference – was packed with a record-breaking 20,000 security industry professionals and nearly 12,000 dealers, installers, integrators, end users and consultant attendees. But that’s not all: more than ever before, biometrics were taking the spotlight, with major integrators and innovative startups focusing on fingerprint, iris and face recognition to solve for security’s most crucial component: identity.

While biometrics are gaining traction in the converged security space, emerging legislation and negative public perception based on high profile controversies have built up a persistent stigma for biometric security solutions. On June 1, 2022 at 11AM EDT, join FindBiometrics and the Security Industry Association (SIA) for a live webinar presentation breaking down the big issues in biometric security with the aim of drawing a path forward for privacy-enhancing biometrics in enterprises of all sizes.

Webinar topics will include:

• Identity and biometrics highlights from ISC West 2022
• What biometric legislation means for enterprises and security professionals
• How to deploy biometrics in line with major privacy acts like Illinois’ BIPA
• Where biometrics are most needed in the modern world
• What’s next for security if biometrics is done right
