WHAT IS APAC DIGITAL IDENTITY UNCONFERENCE?

The goal of the event is to foster innovation and collaboration between emerging digital identity companies and projects across the APAC region.

unConferences are particularly generative, with a facilitator we will co-create the agenda live each day of the event. There are no keynotes or panels, it’s all about exploring the topic with professional peers from a range of identity areas. Click here to learn more. 
  • Who are the people?
  • What are the organizations?
  • Where are the things (products, commodities, shipping pallets) and where did they come from?
There are many reasons that secure identity systems are needed for connecting to others, tracking trade, supporting labor markets, crossing borders. Significant investments have been made into the development of interoperable standards, protocols, systems application layers, conceptual use cases, and more.

EVENT BACKGROUND

The APAC Digital Identity unConference is inspired by the Internet Identity Workshop (IIW). The two facilitators and producers of IIW, Kaliya Young, also known as the Identity Woman, and Heidi Nobantu Saul collaborated with a local partner Newlogic to host and produce the first edition of APAC Digital Identity unConference in Bangkok on 1 - 3 March 2023. 

The time was right to host an event for the APAC region with the same Open Space unConference format that the Internet Identity Workshop uses. The event brought together innovative startups and bold large companies who are building products and developing services using emerging digital identity technologies. One of the goals for the event is to foster a more connected ecosystem of companies working in the APAC region.
