The Biometric Consortium serves as a focal point for research, development, testing, evaluation, and application of biometric-based personal identification/verification technology. The Biometric Consortium organizes a premier biometrics conference every fall (advertised below). Information about past conferences, current government and standards activity, a bulletin board service, and other biometric resources can be found throughout this web site.
The Biometric Consortium is co-chaired by Jeffrey S. Dunn and Fernando Podio.
