o   Instructions on how to download and join the mobile app will be emailed to you directly.

  • Our intent is to record some sessions in the general session room, and to share recorded content with Society members, registrants and/or other paying customers as appropriate. Following the conference, some members or others who were unable to attend the meeting may also opt to purchase a package of these sessions. Rather than profiting from these session recordings, the primary goal of this effort is to expand the reach of the meeting and your session, in particular. If you have any questions or concerns about this plan, please reach out to us directly at conference@biometricsociety.org and we will be happy to discuss the matter and possible solutions with you.
  • If you have not already booked your accommodations for the conference, our host hotel still has availability. Check out the website for more details. If you are having difficulty using the conference code when booking your hotel, please contact the hotel directly Rudy Jerry at rudy.jerry@marriott.com.
  • We wish you a safe and smooth journey to Atlanta! If you have any questions, please contact us at conference@biometricsociety.org

Day of Your Presentation: 

  • If you have any adjustments or questions about your presentation, please stop by the speaker ready room (M201 on the Marquis Level) well in advance to your presentation timeslot.
  •  Please arrive at your session room 30 minutes prior to the start of your session.
  •  If you have any questions about your session reach out to your session chair via the mobile app direct message feature or stop by the speaker ready room (M201 on the Marquis Level).
  •  Please be respectful of your fellow speakers and keep your presentation within the time limit.
  • Speak loudly enough for the room to hear, try not to rush or talk too quickly (If this is your first time presenting, we recommend practicing at home or with a friend prior to arriving and using a timer to make sure you have enough time to present without rushing) 
  • The International Programming Committee, Local Organizing Committee, and the International Biometric Society thank you for your participation and for your contribution to the 32nd International Biometric Conference.
