CHYP/Barclays Unconference
Details
Consult Hyperion (http://www.chyp.com/) and Barclays (http://www.barclays.com/) are pleased to announce their first Digital Identity Unconference, sponsored by Forgerock (http://forgerock.com/), for 25th November 2014 at the Barclays Accelerator 69-89 Mile End Road, London E1 4TT.
The event will be an unconference: that is, instead of a succession of pre-determined Powerpoint presentations, it will mix stimulating talks from relevant industry observers with discussion sessions selected by the delegates themselves on the day. The goal of the day will be to help experienced professionals, startup entrepreneurs and interested parties in the finance, payments and related industries to explore the future of the identity space.
Who knows what the delegates will choose to discuss and debate on the day, but we expect the topics to be covered to include the UK Identity Assurance Programme, Barclays joining OIX, ApplePay and secure online transactions, FIDO and new authentication technologies, biometrics, personal data stores, online anonymity and pseudonymity, data protection and population-scale identity solutions. There will be a range of delegates from different backgrounds — including a number of startups from the Accelerator — and we hope the cross-fertilisation will be something special.
Taking part in the discussions will be (amongst many others)
-
Dave Birch, a Director of Consult Hyperion and author of “Identity is the New Money";
-
Simon Taylor, Barclays
-
Members of the techUK working group looking at the intersection of payments and identity
-
David Rennie and other members of the Cabinet Office IDA team;
And a variety of interesting people with wide and well-informed views.
The day will begin with a kick-off talk followed by an on-stage interview and Q&A session to set the scene. Following on, the delegates will (in best open-space style, as described at http://www.unconference.net/ ) note down the topics that they would like to discuss and these will be organised into four sets of parallel sessions (two before lunch and two after). Delegates are then free to join in any, all or none of the discussions. The points raised in the discussions will be captured and reported.
As always, the Unconference will be limited to 100 people to ensure that everyone gets the chance to contribute, to question and to learn. The cost is a nominal £10 and all proceeds from the event will go to Crossroads Care Surrey, a charity that provide respite for carers.
