e-ID documents and digital data management are globally on the roadmap of the public and enterprise sector. Since 2004, in China more than a half billion national eID cards are being issued. In the last 3 years, more than 40 countries have started issuing electronic travel documents based on new international standards. These 40 countries represent a total population of approximately 1 billion citizens. Three of those countries have already begun to store finger print data in addition to the facial and MRZ data. In Europe, 8 countries have started issuing national eID cards: Italy, Finland, Spain, Belgium, Estonia, Sweden, Austria and Portugal. Beyond the national programs, the EU Commission has started or will start many international projects, such as e-Residence Permit Card, eID documents for the Registered Traveller Program, a large scale pilot on eID/eGov interoperability (STORK consortium), large scale pilots on eHealth, Blue Card, e-Emergency Card and Schengen-Entry/Exit.

The next edition of World eID again aims to be an ideal opportunity to share vision, see new perspectives and opportunities, based on new application standards such as ISO 18013, CEN TC 224, ISO 24727 and new technologies, identify new programs on national and international level and show lessons learned from implementations and projects running. This event extends the network into the high security community, with all relevant stakeholders, like governments, industries and consultancies.

The "World e-ID" Program Committee is inviting proposals for presentations from Government as well as Private sector e-ID strategy and projects planners, system developers, implementers, managers and industry leaders, e-service providers and others with extensive relevant experiences and insight in one of more of the following topic areas:
