Dear Community, We are looking forward to the IRM Summit Nov 3-5 with the "warm-up" Kantara Initiative IoT & Identity Workshop on Nov 3. Kantara Members benefit from a 40% full ticket discount. We hope to see you in Dublin! *Welcome to the Connected Life - Identity Relationship Management Personified* This is a "warm-up" workshop for the Identity Relationship Management (IRM) Summit. The IRM Summit is the premier event focusing on the evolution of Identity Access and Management Services. To join us, register for the IRM Summit http://irmsummit.com/. Technology services that connect businesses, consumers, governments, and citizens are exponentially evolving. With each innovation humans become more connected to people, entities, and things. Enterprise, governments, research, education, and consumers each value trusted: identity services, credentials and personal data associated. This trust is composed of open standards development and publication, verifiable services, proportional data control, choice, context, and a mutual respect for the user. As the Internet of Things becomes pervasive Kantara Initiative is taking a lead to discover strategic issues at the intersection of identity, IoT, and usability. Our Members innovate and develop programs that simplify our increasingly complex connected life. Networked devices and sensors make up the fabric of the Internet of Things. Leveraging mobile devices, sensors, and wearables is the future of identity and personal data. That future is here now. It is our connected life. *Why attend:* Join leaders to discuss your opportunities and challenges at the intersection of Identity, IoT, and Usability. *Who should attend:* Innovators, Enterprise, Public Sector, Executives, Engineers, Privacy Officers, Futurists *Agenda*: The agenda is under development. Leading Industry organizations will discuss Identity and Access Management at the intersection of Identity, IoT, and Usability.
