What is the Identity Conference about?

In 2008, we held New Zealand's first major conference about identity ñ Managing Identity in New Zealand. That conference began a conversation about managing identity and its wider implications for people in New Zealand and beyond. Four years later, we are meeting again to discuss what has changed and where digital identity may be going in the future ñ as we increasingly live, work and play online.

* Colin MacDonald, Chief Executive of Land Information New Zealand
