An opportunity has arisen to speak at the World Engineering Conference and Convention <http://www.wecc2015.info/index.html> in Kyoto on December 2, on using UMA for consent management in the personal data store context, in a session <http://www.wecc2015.info/program/oral/dec_2.html> on information security and privacy. (Thomas Hardjono was originally slated to appear at the conference, but is unable.) I’m told there is funding to partially reimburse flight and accommodation, and that the WECC event expects 2000 participants and even an appearance by a Japanese royal family member at the opening ceremony. If you’re interested and able, can you please get in touch with me immediately so that I can connect you with the organizers? There is a wealth of UMA outreach material available to build on, such as our webinar slides, to help you in preparing materials, and I’m happy to offer assistance. Thanks in advance!
