Hi Kantara

 I wanted to remind you the Internet Identity Workshop (@idworkshop), that many Kantara community members will be participating and it is just 2 weeks away May 17-19th.   We already shifted to late registration pricing but if you use the discount code: Kantara  it will give you regular pricing for another week until end day May 10th.  We also have one day tickets now on sale.  

I am also putting on an event just after IIW - Digital Death Day (@digitaldeathday)- focused on all aspects of what happens to someone's online life after they die. 

Here are descriptions and links to both of these events & three other identity & privacy related events between now and August.   Please spread the word to others who who would be interested & please forgive me on the cross posting I felt it was important to spread the word far and wide.   Please send this note to other communities.

Let me know if you have any questions. 

Regards,

Building Credibility in the Cloud. Change is upon us. Enterprise are asking architects to create and enact plans for the future, in a time when protocols are proliferating, services are moving to the cloud and perimeter security has been left behind.

Whether you are a privacy rights advocate or you believe privacy is indeed deade, pii2010 will offer a comprehensive look at how information is being created, shared, controlled, collected, stored and secured, how that is likely to change in the future and what it means for individuals, organizations and governments.
