Many of you have contacted me privately to point out that BrightTALK does not list the time zone for the summit sessions! That's a surprising omission on their part and I've raised it to their attention. But to be clear, the time of my session is 08:00 PST / 11:00 EST / 16:00 UTC. Dervla has also added it to our public events calendar. By the way, if you haven't yet subscribed to our community calendar I highly recommend it since it carries many, many entries in an effort to track any and all events and meetings that might be relevant to our community. If you know of an event not listed please send an email to staff [at] kantarainitiative [dot] org.

I wanted to make sure you all were aware of an online conference/ summit that BrightTALK is running next week on Strong Authentication. As you'll see, Kantara Initiative is a sponsor of the summit and I'll be giving a talk on Tuesday, November 10th on the role of Strong Authentication in the Identity Assurance Ecosystem. Details are as follows:

I hope you can "attend" this online event for a number of reasons. First, you will get an update on the latest developments by ANSI, Kantara, ICAM, ISO/ITU regarding trust framework standards & certification. And -- selfishly -- I would also like to you participate in this summit so you can help me evaluate the effectiveness of running online summits in this fashion. I would love your feedback after-the-fact to help us make plans for stretching our communication/education dollars in 2010. I'm hopeful that this format of great utility going forward.
The conference looks to have several key sessions and I encourage you to review the entire agenda here:

P.S. Of course, you will need to register for a BrightTALK account in order to attend these sessions, but they are free of charge otherwise. Let me know if you run into any trouble with the registration process.
