International Biometric Conference

Where Biometry Takes Center Stage

The International Biometric Conference has been sponsored by the International Biometric Society (IBS) since 1947 and represents one of the major activities of the IBS. The Society organizes a major international conference every two years.

There is something special about every IBC. Our focus on quality science and our desire to engage audiences from all regions and backgrounds are on full display. Through this very special event, we celebrate professionals and their accomplishments, as well as the ways in which global collaboration enhances the work that we all do.
