Interactive, open-seating
The word "biometrics" is heard everywhere: on TV screens, at conferences, in podcasts, in news, in communities and groups. We are no longer as surprised as we were ten years ago by human identification based on physiological and biological characteristics, and the collection and circulation of biometric data is a hot topic today. Among the main prospects for the use of biometric technologies are the improvement of security and usability of public services, as well as the possibility of application for commercial purposes, for example, for customer identification in the banking sector. All of this requires effective legal and technical measures to protect biometric personal data - are the existing ones coping or do we still have a lot of work to do?
We are going to discuss:
Who collects our fingerprints and why;
Where and how biometric data is stored;
Is it safe to pay with a smile in stores or on the subway;
How the collection and processing of biometric data is regulated in Russia and abroad;
And what biometrics is in general.
Organizers of the networking session will conduct a pre-event tech check with all online participants to test their internet connection, audio, and video quality. Any possible connectivity issues will be detected in advance to ensure a seamless experience during the session.
In terms of representation during the session both onsite and online moderators will work to ensure that online and offline participants and speakers are equally represented and have the same opportunities to speak, ask questions and intervene.
Session will also incorporate instant feedback collection from the audience as for discussion to be naturally navigated. All participants, including online, will be able to provide instant feedback during the discussion using various online tools (i.e. Mentimeter or Kahoot!). On every onsite question there will be given word to online participants providing them with an opportunity to present their view or ask a question.
