SSI in Action: Opportunities and challenges

We are at the brink of the breakthrough of a new technological, social and business paradigm which has become widely known as “Self-Sovereign Identity”, or SSI in brief. SSI will be embossing the way digital identity is perceived by everyone in the future and declaring the woes of today’s established identity practices obsolete.

Now you can experience SSI in action! In this interactive session, your host and 4 domain experts will be convincing: SSI is for you, too! You will learn how……

… SSI solutions are designed with user-centricity to allow for charming and convenient interaction.
… SSI’s verifiable credentials are applied in common real-life situations of data sharing and proofing.
… SSI supports customers navigating in open markets for data, products and services in a privacy-preserving way.
… SSI renders today’s cluttered and clunky enterprise Identity & Access landscapes and experiences obsolete.

Feel free to participate with questions and for discussing your own SSI business use case ideas with the audience and experts in the subsequent panel debate. This session concludes with a call to action: Embark on SSI NOW to unleash its potential for yourself and everyone in your business ecosystem to connect and engage without the intervention of intermediaries with separate agendas.
