In reaction to the passing of the Immigration Act in New Zealand, which was designed to improve the immigration process and better protect New Zealand’s borders through the introduction of biometric technology and other policy changes, more than 50 experts from both government and the biometrics industry are gathering for the Biometrics Institute New Zealand Conference and Exhibition in late March.
The event, which is organized by the Biometrics Institute, will deal with biometrics’ role in identity management and immigration services as well as look at recent developments in the industry.
Among the many presenters and speakers booked for the conference are New Zealand Privacy Commissioner, Marie Shroff; Group Manager of Service Design for the Department of Labour, Arron Baker; Business Advisors from Identity Services of the Department of Internal Affairs, Fiona Lavin and Tim Waldron, as well as officials from biometric companies such as Fujitsu, Unisys, Raytheon and Sagem Securite.
Conference organizer Isabelle Moeller is elated with the long list of participants and presenters booked for the conference and looks forward to the outcomes from the conference atmosphere that provides a forum of government and corporate experts in biometrics to discuss solutions.
