In a busy convention centre, many familiar faces in identity will be talking together about modern identity-based verification for government, industry and end-users.

The promise and perils with identity-promising solutions such as decentralised identity, blockchain and the metaverse will move the discussions from only a year ago onto how ownership and security ID models are undergoing a metamorphosis.

With the industry headhunting emerging technologies, applications and people, the event will explore how the future of identity-based verification, to validate a user is who they claim to be, will rely on using readily available technologies like smart phones, blockchain and assurance government issued digital documents to make the process secure and friction-less.
