World e-ID Congress extends the successful 7-year-old World e-ID conference (www.world-eid.eu) with a new format aimed at Identity Services managers and decision makers from both public and

private sectors.

It will also benefit from the synergies of the co-located NFC World Congress in terms of contents and networking as well as exhibition attendance as both events share the same exhibition space.

WORLD e-ID 2004-2012
