I had an amazing time organizing the MEF CONNECTS ID & AUTH: The Dawn of Personal Data & Identity hybrid event. It was such a joy working with all 38 speakers for the event. I also really enjoyed participating in the event as well.

Here is one of the five sessions I participated in at the event, and below is the session abstract.

The discussion revolved around the intricate tapestry of personal and organizational data, identity, and the various market forces that shape this landscape, including culture, technology, regulations, commercials, and politics.

During my session, I had the privilege to delve into The Identity Nexus Equation, which holds the key to unlocking the true potential of our digital identities. I emphasized the crucial need to understand why ART (Authenticity, Responsibility, and Trust) must be true in this context. By juxtaposing personal data and identity with organizational identity, we uncovered the interconnectedness and symbiotic relationship between them.

To add an element of surprise and additional insight, we were joined by a special guest who provided valuable perspectives on the importance of ART in our journey towards achieving The Identity Nexus. This collaborative discussion shed light on the significance of authenticity, responsibility, and trust in fostering a secure and empowered digital ecosystem.

The event served as a platform to explore the complex dynamics at play in the data and identity landscape, and to inspire attendees to actively contribute to the realization of The Identity Nexus. It was an incredible opportunity to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and collectively work towards a future where personal and organizational identities coexist harmoniously.

I am immensely grateful for the experience and eagerly look forward to future engagements where we can continue our quest to solve The Identity Nexus Equation and advance the understanding and implementation of ART in the digital realm.

Here are links to the other four sessions.
