• Registration: https://cadmv.webex.com/weblink/register/r6926385d4e4d0348f81c6cf19396f7a5

The CA DMV hosted two community hackathons, in partnership with the OpenID Foundation, to further accelerate acceptance and use of Mobile Driver’s Licenses (mDLs). The hackathons, participated by 20+ teams, 40+ organizations, and 200+ attendees, saw a wide variety of use cases from across industries and public agencies that demonstrated the real-world and potential benefits of mDLs. We will selectively demonstrate some of the use cases at the public briefing.

• Private Sector Hackathon (Oct 1): News Release | Media Coverage | Post Event Announcement
• Public Sector Hackathon (Nov 1): News Release

We would like to invite you to attend the public briefing, and we kindly ask you to SHARE THIS INFORMATION with your connections who may be interested in learning about how we are strengthening the stakeholder (particularly relying party) ecosystem of CA mDLs.

For any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or email hackathon@dmv.ca.gov.

Thanks,

Lucy
