What were YOU doing two years ago?

Mitch Wagner recently posted something on Facebook (although he doesn’t like Facebook) that began with the words So here’s what I was doing in Feb. 2020, two years ago this month. After describing what he was doing at the time (read it here), he concluded with the following words: Very few of us realized Feb.

Unexpected synergies: CVENT and ID.me

From 2015 to 2019, I performed my second stint of direct involvement in MorphoTrak’s (later IDEMIA’s) User Conference. Some of my responsibilities (varying from year to year) revolved around placing User Conference information into an iOS / Android app. This app, marketed under the name CrowdCompass, was an offering from CVENT, who in those years

Excerpt from “The difference between biometrics and biometrics”

I just wrote a post on my Bredemarket consulting blog, and I wanted to excerpt a portion of it here. Because repurposing is good.

Pursuing the (APMP) foundation

This material was originally posted yesterday to the LinkedIn Bredemarket page. I’ve edited it slightly: phrases such as “I just downloaded” in the original were updated, I’ve changed the hashtags to WordPress tags, I’ve added a pretty picture (which I can’t do with LinkedIn posts), and I have provided an update at the end.

Is “the Great Resignation” coming? Or did it already happen?

In the employment world, the big phrase on everyone’s lips right now is “The Great Resignation.” The idea is that once all the work from home (WFH) employees are ordered back to the office, so many of them will say “no way!” that they will quit en masse, leaving employers to scramble. That’s the common

Following conferences remotely #iai2021

Now that trade shows and conferences are starting to move back toward in-person events, there is a clear difference between attending a conference and NOT attending a conference. In these cases, you need to be physically present at the conference to obtain the best information. Of course, some conferences are so big that you miss
