ANSI/NIST-ITL Update Workshop

ANSI Workshop

UPDATE - CONFERENCE POSTPONEMENT 

We regret to inform you that NIST is opting to postpone the scheduled ANSI/NIST-ITL workshop to the week of August 25, 2025. We apologize for the inconvenience to those who have already made travel arrangements, but be assured that all registration fees will be refunded promptly to the original method of payment.

In the meantime, we will continue to push forward with the revision process and host virtual discussions on the draft changes the expert working groups have agreed upon. We will also address more general topics and comments about the revision. All participants will receive drafts of the revised record types for review and comment.

We at ITL deeply appreciate the widespread participation and assistance you have all contributed to the revision process so far. We look forward to seeing you all in August. 

Join us in Rockville for a directed discussion of the ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2025 standard update at the NIST NCCoE Facility. We will review, discuss, and vote on the results of the expert working groups, including adding support for contactless fingerprints, redesigning the DNA record, and aligning our vision for the future direction of the standard. In-person attendance is preferred, but a virtual option will be available for those who cannot travel to Rockville.
