Past event: Identity Management Symposium 2015

Comprehensive Identity Intelligence and Biometric Capabilities for Defense and National Security

Our Identity Management Symposium is designed as an educational and training “Town Hall” forum, where thought leaders and key policy-makers across military and civilian organizations can come together for actionable discussions and debate. The symposium will focus on the tools and techniques necessary to improve comprehensive identity management in support of DoD and Federal missions.


Key areas this symposium will address:

  • Capability requirements from DoD and DHS to provide industry with R&D priorities that meet Government needs
  • Fusing identity intelligence with other all source intelligence
  • Delivering biometric & forensic capabilities to an evolving strategic environment
  • The integration of biometrics with forensics and other emerging capabilities to improve identity management
  • Road map for long term identity management concepts and goals

The Symposium will bring together senior level officials from the DoD, DHS, and Private Sector, specifically the policy, operational, and R&D organizations responsible for improving National security.


Why Should you Attend the Symposium?

Forensics and biometrics provide DoD and Federal Civilian Organizations with critical capabilities help to identify threats, reduce costs, and target valuable resources where they are needed. Advances in identity intelligence allow for discovery of unknown potential threat actors by connecting individuals to other persons, places, events, or materials, analyzing patterns of life, and characterizing their level of potential threats to US interests. The Government is actively seeking improvements to current systems and new approaches to improve identity intelligence in support of national security.

The symposium will provide valuable information on efforts from the policy and operational communities on how the US Government plans to integrate biometrics with other tools, both existing and in R&D to support defense and homeland security operations and improve the efficiency of Government organizations.

Our team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summits' content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in the community from operational leaders, the R&D Community, key policy-makers, as well as solution providers from Industry and Academia. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all involved organizations bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
