Regional Conference
A biennial meeting is one of the main activities of the region,
which enables members and non-members to come together to exchange ideas,
learn about new research methodologies and applications, network and
establish important contacts and collaboration opportunities.
These conferences are renowned for being intimate regarding numbers of
participants, yet large enough to facilitate invited and contributed
presentations as well as poster presentations. The program typically runs
from Monday to Thursday lunch with an optional social activity on Tuesday afternoon and a Wednesday dinner, which both encourage further social and professional networking. The 2011 conference, nicknamed "Biometrics by the Blowholes," was held at the Sebel Harbourside Hotel in Kiama, New South Wales, Australia. Kiama is about 120 kilometres south of Sydney. Kiama is the home of the world’s largest blowhole (Big Blowhole). There is also a smaller blowhole known as Little Blowhole. The conference took place from Sunday to Thursday 4-8th of December 2011. It followed the usual programme with a welcome event on Sunday evening and full days on Monday and Wednesday, and half days on Tuesday and Thursday, with excursions planned for Tuesday afternoon. The conference closed after lunch on Thursday. The conference dinner was on Wednesday 7 December at the Mercure Resort, Gerringgong by the Sea (formerly Bellachara), just 11km south of Kiama. Click on the Kiama 2011 link on the side bar to go to the conference website. Most of the presentations will be uploaded in due course.
The previous regional biennial meeting, Biometrics by the Lake,
was held at Lake Taupo, New Zealand, on 29 November
- 3 December 2009. The 2009 conference presentations
are now available. Note that there were some changes to the printed programme. And click here
