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: http://www.brighttalk.com/webcasts/7010/attend 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: http://www.brighttalk.com/summit/strongauthentication 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. Brett McDowell | http://info.brettmcdowell.com | http://KantaraInitiative.org
