Milan, October 21st, 2008 - Wise Media, organizer of the ID WORLD International Congress, announces today that the Citizen ID Forum, the global summit on the digitalization of citizen identification documents, will again open its doors under the patronage of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Minister of Interior, H. H. Sheik Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan.The event is endorsed by the European Commission and the Emirates Identity Authority and supported by Abu Dhabi Police. It takes place in Abu Dhabi on February 15 and 16, 2009 at the Beach Rotana Hotel.
The Citizen ID Forum is the world's premier and most comprehensive summit on the digitalization of citizen ID documents, focusing on the most relevant issues related to the introduction of secure and biometrics-enabled identification documents.
Building on the outstanding success of 2008, this two-day event will see the participation of key players behind the advancements in citizen ID programs and secure ID projects – including high-level government representatives, border control and law enforcement authorities – at its two cornerstone initiatives:
The Conference, supplemented by interactive networking activities, will gather together a panel of top-level government representatives and leading figures in the secure ID document arena and act as the perfect backdrop for an open dialogue and analysis of crucial issues. Topics will include the progressive digitalization of passports, national IDs, driver’s licenses, health cards and visas, as well as the future of smart tickets and payment systems.
The Exhibition, organized as a Technology Village with live demonstrations, illustrates the entire lifecycle of secure ID documents: from the integrated circuits and electronic inlays, to the durability tests, to enrollment, personalization and identity verification processes. Leading global suppliers will showcase stable and proven technologies for the creation of durable contactless and/or biometrics-enabled documents, cutting edge data collection systems as well as identity management solutions.
