Digital Identity unConference Europe 2023 Zürich / #DICE #1

For the last 18 years a conference in California called the Internet Identity Workshop has been gathering people from all over the world to consider how people can own and control the digital representations of themselves. This event fostered the innovation of a first generation of standards such as OpenID and OAuth. In the last 7 years a next wave of Decentralized Identity standards have emerged and are now getting accelerated adoption globally.

The time is right to host an event for Europe with the same Open Space Technology unConference format that the Internet Identity Workshop uses. This event will bring together innovative startups, bold large companies, and governments, 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 European Countries.

This event is inspired by IIW and is being co-organized by one of the founders, Kaliya Young and longtime event producer Heidi Nobantu Saul.

The co-organizer and location of the event is Trust Square in Zurich and is the perfect location for this first gathering, in terms of meeting space available, proximity to the train station and a variety of lodging options. Zurich is in the heart of continental Europe, a place where a lot of innovation is happening, especially also in the world of decentralized technologies, with world leading universities (e.g. University of Zurich and ETH) and easily accessible by train and plane from anywhere in Europe and the world (we have excellent plane connections from Zurich airport)
