More detail & full excerpt of the talks & bios:

• Title: How to securely implement MCP with OAuth in .NET
• Abstract:
  In this session, we’ll explore Model-Context-Protocol (MCP).
  We’ll begin with a high-level overview of MCP, illustrating its core concepts through a practical implementation using Semantic Kernel in .NET.
  From there, we’ll shift focus to security. We’ll examine common vulnerabilities in MCP-based architectures and demonstrate how to securely implement it using OAuth.
  Whether you're new to MCP or looking to deepen your expertise, this session will equip you with both the conceptual understanding and hands-on techniques to build secure AI solutions.

• Title: Swiss Identity in .NET: A Practical Guide to EIAM, aGov, SwissID, Entra ID—and Social Logins
• Abstract
  Modern Swiss apps rarely authenticate just one way. In this fast paced, concept-level session, we compare how to plug EIAM, aGOV, E-ID, SwissID, Microsoft Entra ID, and social providers (Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook) into software systems using OpenID Connect/OAuth 2.0 (and where SAML still fits). You’ll see side by side integration patterns and what each IDP means for user experience, assurance levels, consent, data residency, and compliance. We’ll finish with a simple decision matrix—when to choose which IDP, so you can ship secure sign in flows that match your audience, not the other way around.
