(NYSE:KME - news) and International Biometric Group have announced a joint effort to feature the Biometropolis(TM) Hot Spot at COMDEX Chicago 2001, to be held in Chicago from April 2-5, 2001.

We are very pleased to be working with International Biometric Group to bring these cutting-edge technologies to the forefront,'' said Bob Bierman, Vice-President and General Manager of COMDEX Chicago, Key3Media Events. ``The profile of biometric technologies has increased dramatically in the past year. With major announcements by companies such as Microsoft and Compaq, the industry has established itself as the definitive IT and e-commerce security solution,'' said Raj Nanavati, Partner with International Biometric Group. ``COMDEX Chicago is a great venue for organizations seeking to learn about biometric solutions as a cost-effective way to maintain a secure information technology infrastructure.'' Biometrics are technologies that verify one's identity based upon physiological or behavioral characteristics. Examples include finger scan, iris scan, voice scan, facial scan and hand geometry. These technologies provide a more secure, easier to use, cost-effective alternative to passwords, keys and tokens. Biometrics are used in a myriad of applications, including: network access, database access, file encryption, Internet security, e-commerce, ATMs, time & attendance, and physical access. COMDEX Chicago is focused on putting technology to work in the post .com boom. Key3Media Events, Inc. will continue to expand the COMDEX universe in Chicago by serving new, relevant communities by engaging new partners on the development of focused content.
