- Discuss international applications of biometric technology and how future deployments can and will change the world in which we live
The first topic of discussion in Thursday’s tweet chat will be biometrics and privacy with special guest James Baker, a political consultant who works with the UK’s NO2ID campaign. The format will be a single topic, Q&A discussion with the goal of answering approximately 5 questions throughout the hour, allowing participants to jump in with their own comments and questions throughout.
Subsequent chats will be held on the first Thursday of every month from 11am – 12pm EST and the topic for November will be biometrics in healthcare. Additional details about the biometric tweet chat can be found on the M2SYS Blog.
