MEF CONNECTS ID & AUTH: The Dawn of Personal and Organizational Identity, a hybrid (in person and live streamed) event in London on 25th May 2023.
Today, the industry is aligning new and existing technology, governance, models, regulations, and individuals’ sentiments to reshape Internet-enhanced online and offline phygital (physical-digital) experiences and services. Central to these efforts is personal and organizational identity. This is the first event to explore organizational identity (OI) alongside personal identity.
According to Michael Becker, CEO of Identity Praxis and MEF Personal Data & Identity Working Group Chair, “Organizational Identity is a new capability for organizations and their agents (humans, machines, bots, and AIs) to be able to assert their identity and make claims related to their authority, and for individuals to verify these assertations without any human intervention. OI has the potential to streamline the customer journey and supply chains, reduce operational costs, mitigate cybercrime across telecom and related channels, and reinvigorate organizational trust and reputations.”
As a result of recent personal and organizational identity standards, governance, regulations, and related technological innovations, more will change in the next five years than in the last hundred. A new era of systemic trust, reputation-driven, phygital engagements is on the horizon.
So how will it work? Where are we now? How soon will this be a reality? Who are the major players to watch? What does it mean in the real world? How will it change the way we interact with large organisations? Who will own the data, and what will happen to it?
Find out at on May 25th at MEF CONNECTS ID & AUTH: The Dawn of Personal and Organizational Identity.
Over one day—18 sessions, with 40+ global leaders—we will explore the dawn of personal and organizational identity.
