Conference Committee:

The Digital Identity Forum is a not-for-profit event designed to bring together decision makers in political, economic, business, social and technical areas to discuss Digital Identity in Europe today. It will allow key players and commentators to engage in valuable education, interesting discussion and genuine, interactive debate. We expect the Forum to be valuable to both business and technical delegates.

Any surplus generated by this event, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, will go to the Pond Meadow school in Park Barn, Guildford. The school specialises in providing a normal education for handicapped children and will be using the proceeds to buy electronic communication equipment that helps the kids to communicate.
