Detailed program
What topics can you expect?
At our congress at it-sa 2024, we will be devoting ourselves entirely to the topic of “The (r)evolution of digital identity”.
With the adoption of the eIDAS 2.0 regulation in spring 2024 and the requirements for the introduction of an EUDI Wallet (EU Digital Identity), SSI/DCI are in focus. This session will provide you with a concise overview of the concepts and potential benefits of these new technologies, as well as the open issues that still need to be resolved. Martin Kuppinger, founder and Principial Analyst at KuppingerCole, will share his analyst perspective and open the congress with a fascinating insight into the change brought about by decentralized identities.
Herbert Leitold, Head of A-SIT, will present the current status of the EU on the topic of electronic identity (eID or PID), including the pitfalls and opportunities, and show where the journey will take us.
Marc Bütikofer, Head of Innovation at Airlock, will show what changes the introduction of these new identity solutions will bring for users and companies, which business processes will be affected and how you can prepare for them now.
Elmar Reif, Chief Product Officer of PXL Vision, will give an outlook on what digital identity verification with eID could look like in the future and how companies will benefit not only from a high level of security, but also from better conversion.
Finally, we invite you to join us for a panel discussion on how the new way of handling digital identities will transform the balance between usability, compliance and security as well as your business processes. Bring your perspective and benefit from the exchange with experts and colleagues!
In addition, together with our partner PXL Vision, we invite all trade fair visitors to Hall 9 at Stand 450 for discussions and live demos. Our in-house barista will be on hand to take care of your physical well-being and create a milk foam selfie on your coffee.
