unConference Discussions

After lunch on Wednesday July 21st we will break into 3 sessions of real-time discussions. 

Kaliya (aka "Identity Woman") of the Internet Identity Workshop (IIW) will facilitate this section of the conference, which will give you ample opportunity to discuss the topics you find most relevant to your business. 

There is a wide array of topics that arise when talking about identity in the cloud. Many of them will be covered by the speakers at the Summit, however, there are always opportunities to go into more depth and inevitable topics that are not fully addressed in formal talks.

The afternoon of July 21st will be attendee lead breakout sessions. Creating the agenda for the afternoon will be facilitated by Kaliya Hamlin, a widely recognized expert in the field of user-centric identity and unconference facilitation. This is the format used at the last 10 Internet Identity Workshop's that she founded with Doc Searls and Phil Windley.

As you register you will be asked what topics you hope to put forward for this afternoon session and you can read what registered attendees have suggested below:
