As an industry, we know the benefits of biometrics and why it is important, but how should we be effectively educating and communicating with the public in order to gain wider acceptance of new technologies? A balanced perspective on the issues of security and privacy, and how biometrics identify travelers on the move, enabling greater throughput and better passenger experience, while respecting the traveler’s privacy.

A deep-dive into what the future of the Trusted Traveler program will look like and how it facilitates the traveler’s journey, making it smoother and faster while safeguarding security and privacy. To include an overview of the landmark European Digital Travel Credential (DTC) pilot between Canada and the Netherlands – the world’s first transatlantic DTC pilot – providing a Proof of Concept for a future with digital identity.

In an ideal world, what does a truly redefined passenger experience look like? A deep-dive into the full breadth of technology being developed, including next-generation Credential Authentication Technology (CAT 2), and contactless bag drop and gates, to enhance security screening and enable a touchless experience through biometrics, as well as initiatives such as the unique new FTE Next Generation Aviation Security Think Tank.

Digital transformation in the transportation industry has advanced rapidly through innovations such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and big data. With the use of such technology now widespread, the aviation industry is quickly digitising, but shifting the focus from speed to quality. Future Travel Experience is delighted to partner with Huawei to deliver this engaging online webinar on “How next-generation technology can restart & reimagine global airports”. Join us on 19 May to hear inspirational stories from leading airports on leveraging connectivity, AI & cloud to successfully restart operations and deliver resilience to their businesses.

Future Travel Experience is delighted to be hosting the next in our series of webinars in partnership with IDEMIA on Thursday, 12 May 2022, 08:30am PST/ 11:30am EST/ 4:30pm BST, which will focus on Next Generation Border Entry with Biometrics. This live and interactive online event, that is free to all to participate, will look into the role of biometrics for border entry and exit in the United States. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), with the nation’s airports and leading biometric organisations are working to enhance the border ecosystem with the introduction of technology across all touchpoints, creating a secure, contactless and seamless approach. Identity verification through innovative technology is no longer a thing of the future, but rather being deployed now, across the busiest airports in the US. Our expert line-up of speakers, which will be confirmed in the coming weeks, will share their learnings on how that is being achieved, and what will come next in the US, and beyond.
