Exploring The Latest Trends In Biometrics Across The US Government, Law Enforcement Agencies & US Allied Nations

You’re navigating a world where security threats are more sophisticated, complex, and unpredictable than ever. Traditional identification methods can no longer keep up with the challenges you face every day. That’s where biometrics comes in - fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, and iris scans give you the power to identify individuals faster, more accurately, and more securely. Whether you're focused on preventing crime, strengthening national security, or streamlining border operations, biometrics is your key to staying ahead.

In passing the Big Beautiful Bill, the US is making its biggest investment in biometric technology. In total, the Department of Homeland Security received over $5 billion to improve its biometric capabilities. That money will be put towards:
  • The procurement and integration of new technologies for non-intrusive inspection equipment and innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence
  • Upgrades for border security
  • The deployment of technology, relating to the biometric entry and exit system  
  • Technology to help screen those entering and exiting the US
At the 2025 IDGA Biometrics for Government and Law Enforcement Summit, you will hear from and meet with leaders from DHS on how the investment will be used to improve how the US protects itself. 

Join us to explore the latest technological developments, dive into the challenges facing your peers, and hear directly from the key decision-makers driving biometric innovation across agencies. If you're seeking clarity on the biometric priorities shaping government and law enforcement, this conference is built for you.

    President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law this Summer and provides billions of dollars in funding to federal border security and immigration enforcement agencies such as CBP and ICE. One area of operations that will see a large funding boost is biometric technology solutions.

    Biometric technologies have become critical to both federal entities, with CBP deploying biometrics solutions at airports, seaports, and land borders across the states.     To hear directly from biometrics leaders from these agencies, don't miss out on IDGA’s Biometrics for Government & Law Enforcement Summit.
