The Electronic Passport Forum: Paris,
June 8th and 9th
Dates
and venue announced for the world’s most comprehensive
event on electronic travel documents
Wise Media S.p.A. announces the dates
and venue for the Electronic Passport Forum 2006, the
annual international summit on the introduction of electronic
travel documents and the revolution this represents.
This year’s event will take place on June 8th and 9th,
2006 at the Hyatt Regency Paris – Charles de Gaulle.
Following the outstanding success of the Electronic Passport
Forum 2005 in Berlin (311 delegates from 36 countries),
the event will once again open its doors this spring,
in Paris, welcoming the key players behind the success
of state-of-the-art citizen ID programs: government
representatives, border control and law enforcement
authorities, supporting organizations, integrators,
state printers as well as technology vendors and experts.
The Electronic Passport Forum is endorsed by the French
Ministry of the Interior and the European Commission.
This year’s
event will highlight and discuss the issues and opportunities
related to the introduction of electronic travel documents,
provide a snapshot of the status of deployments on a
global scale and showcase the technology at the basis
of the entire life cycle of machine readable travel
documents. Focusing closely on the European scenario,
the Electronic Passport Forum will analyze the three
subsequent waves of introduction of electronic travel
documents - first ePassports, then
National IDs and finally Visas
- and the roll-out of the infrastructure necessary to
support this major shift. As a consequence of the mandatory
implementation of a relatively narrow project, the introduction
of electronic travel documents worldwide will pave the
way towards the much broader market penetration of RFID
and biometric technology in the areas of citizen ID
and eGovernment projects.
