A number of presentation slots are available for contributions from users and suppliers of biometrics.

Contributions are especially sought from individuals with extensive experience in the practical application of biometrics, those at the forefront of research and development, market analysts and end users/governments that have (or are currently implementing) a cutting-edge case history that they would like to share.

Potential speakers are invited to submit their original and exciting new speech proposals for consideration by conference programme committee:

Proposals should be submitted by 24 May 2013, to the Fiona Watson, Biometrics 2013 Programme Director.

Successful contributions will be evaluated on the basis of originality, relevance, content, and expertise/experience of the speaker.

Please indicate if a speech might be suitable for audience interaction/live demonstration.

New case histories, especially when presented by end-users, will be favoured, as will speeches from top-level company or organisational representatives. N.B This should not dissuade submissions by those with specialist technical knowledge, or those leading research efforts.
