e-Smart Technologies CEO to be Featured Speaker at Premier China
Smart Card Conference 


WASHINGTON, D.C., April 12  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- e-Smart Technologies,
Inc., (Pink Sheets: ESMT); ("e-SMART" or the "Company") is pleased to announce
that Mary Grace, the company's President and CEO, has been invited to be a
featured speaker at the 7th Smart Cards + Smart Label, China & Users'
Conference 2005, which will be held April 19 - 21, 2005, in Beijing, China.

The Smart Cards + Smart Label, China & Users' Conference is the official and
premier event on Smart Cards and Smart Label (RFID) in China with nearly three
thousand delegates from 20 countries in attendance, making this China's largest
conference and exhibition on Smart Cards and Smart Labels.  This year's
conference will highlight the increased interest in Smart Cards and Smart
Labels from all industry sectors, including urban public transport, banking,
telecom, social welfare, National ID and passport, tax-control and RFID/tag
technology application for logistics.

Ms. Grace will have the pleasure of discussing e-Smart's revolutionary
Biometric Verification Security System(TM) (BVS2(TM)) featuring the Super Smart
Card(TM).  E-Smart's Super Smart Card(TM) is believed by experts to be the
world's first and perhaps only commercially available ISO standard-based,
interoperable, multi-application, biometric smart card with a full on-card
biometric matching system and personal on-card biometric sensor.  The card has
both contact and wireless compatibility and the BVS2(TM) system is designed to
provide complete protection to its holder against identity-based crimes as well
as to protect society from the risk of misidentifying a person in a public
situation where there exists risk of harm or fraud due to misidentification.

Furthermore, with more than 4,000 border check-points in China from land to
airports and sea-ports there is great interest in extending the use of
biometrics in passports.  Ms. Grace is eager to address the conference about
the company's Super Smart Passport(TM), which experts believe to be the first
and perhaps only market-ready "e-passport" that authenticates its holder's
identity via its own on-board fingerprint sensor and on-board biometric
matching system, both powered wirelessly.

Jointly organized by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing and China
RFID Standard Working Group, the VIP attendants from China include the Ministry
of Information Industry, Ministry of Railway and the General Custom
Administration.  International keynote speakers will come from India, Korea,
China Hong Kong and Taiwan.  The conference is endorsed by the China Ministry
of Science and Technology, Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce, Ministry of
Public Security, Ministry of Construction, Department of Urban Construction,
Article Numbering Center of China Organizers, China Nation Registration Center
for IC Cards, China Urban Public Transport Association, Information Center of
Ministry of Social Welfare & Security and the Smart Card Forum of China.

"It is a great honor," said Ms. Grace, "to have the opportunity to address
experts from around the world and, specifically, here in China about our
advanced biometric technology, including our Super Smart Card(TM) and Super
Smart Passport(TM).  For years now, e-Smart has been a close and respected
partner with Guo Xin Wll-tel Technology Co., Ltd., and EarthNewMedia Trading
Corporation, which are owned by an agency of the Ministry of Information
Industry, (MII) for the purpose of implementing the BVS2 system in China as a
national ID and for use in the financial sector."  "We, along with our partners
in China, are so pleased to have the opportunity to share with government and
private industry decision-makers from around the world the unlimited uses and
applications of our extraordinary biometric technology."
