DELRAY BEACH, Fla. -- VeriChip Corporation (NASDAQ: CHIP), a provider of RFID systems for healthcare and patient-related needs, announced today it will present at the ID World International Congress on November 28, 2007, in Milan, Italy. The Company's presentation, which will be delivered by Michael J. Feder, Senior Vice President of Operations and Strategic Initiatives, will cover the future of implantable RFID microchips, from identification and security to diagnosis and treatment, during the healthcare track focusing on hospital management and patient monitoring.

The ID WORLD International Congress is the most comprehensive showcase on the evolving world of RFID, biometrics and smart card technologies, and is the only international forum that looks at the auto ID industry as a whole, rather than focusing on a specific technology or vertical sector. It offers a full-scale and complete vision of social, technological and business aspects related to the deployment of the automatic identification systems.
