Dear Kantara Community please join us at HIMSS 2015 for this special event! *Kantara Initiative Presents:Extending the Power of Consent with User-Managed Access & OpenUMA* Existing notice-and-consent paradigms of privacy have begun to fail dramatically -- and as recent Pew surveys have demonstrated, people have begun to (ahem) notice. The discipline of privacy engineering aspires to "craft", but finds it hard to break out the "compliance" rut. The User-Managed Access (UMA) standard and the OpenUMA open-source project are stepping into the breach with two essential elements that change the game: asynchronous consent and centralized consent management. *Register for the Event <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kantara-initiative-himss-2015-tickets-15276679961>* *Why attend:* Join leaders to discuss your opportunities and challenges discussing User-Management Access for Health and Identity. *Who should attend:* Innovators, Enterprise, Public Sector, Executives, Engineers, Privacy Officers, Futurists *Details:* April 15, 2015 at 7:00-8:30am McCormick Place, Room CC21B Best Regards, Joni Brennan Kantara Initiative | Executive Director email: joni @ kantarainitiative.org Connecting Identity for a more trustworthy Internet - Overview <http://www.slideshare.net/kantarainitiative/kantara-overview2014-37969351>
