InDIITA Workshop

18 Jul 2019 - 19 Jul 2019

Bangalore, India

Welcome to the Second InDIITA Open Space Tech Workshop
Digital Inclusion, Identity, Trust, and Agency India

Join us in Bangalore on 18-19 July

The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) is pleased to present its second two-day InDIITA Workshop in Bangalore, India.

Building on last year’s success that included 26 sessions with rigorous participation from 65 attendees representing 22 different countries, the goal of the 2019 workshop is to develop an outcome-based community that will continue to address the following challenges:

Securing affordable accessibility for disconnected communities within India
Building a trust framework for protecting the digital persona
Enabling the digital citizen’s right to manage (agency) who, when, what and how they want to transact with other entities.
Read the 2018 InDITA Book of Proceedings and see all the notes and event information for yourself.

You set the agenda

InDIITA is an Open Space Workshop that utilizes an “attendee-based participatory experience” to work on solutions needed in the world of identity today. Rather than having a pre-set agenda and canned presentations, attendees will set a multi-track agenda that meets their needs in real-time.

At an Open Space workshop, you’re invited to speak and share, raise questions, or ask for input. Whether you have an idea for a session right away or think of one in the middle of the workshop, you are welcome to propose it and run a session.

Who should attend:

Technologists, researchers, government regulators, academics, ethicists and more are all welcome and needed. Just bring your expertise and readiness to collaborate in finding the right solutions.

Who benefits from participating

You are an innovative, inquisitive or progressive business or technical professional with responsibilities within the areas of digital inclusion, data privacy, identity technologies, biometrics, blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), security and ethics
You would like to better understand how deep technologies such as AI, machine learning (ML), distributed ledger technologies (DLT)/blockchain, and Self Sovereign Identity (SSI) will revolutionize the digital identities, privacy, security and more
You are eager to engage with important stakeholders (ie. regulators, aadhaar and non aadhaar identity experts, researchers and global organizations)
You are passionate and committed to finding better ways to create robust and scalable systems, platforms, programs for digital inclusion, identity, trust and agency

Why you should participate

This is a participatory conference. You will propose and lead sessions in real-time at the event on relevant topics, ideas and challenges that matter to you
This is an outcome based event. InDIITA will be the platform to evaluate ideas, and design and build systems that provide affordable accessibility or empower individuals to manage their identity
The time is right. Discussions around national identity, securing digital persona, and digital inclusion for all are immediate and require our attention

What you will be talking about

Self Sovereign Identity (SSI)
Blockchain Identity
Biometrics
Individual Empowerment
Tools for humans
Verified Domain Names

Verified e-mail
Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)
Aadhar and Non-addhar Identity Systems
AI Technology vs Identity Privacy
Standard for Legal Identities on Net and Blockchain

Any other topic you identify as relevant and critical to the conversation and the solution. See the growing list of potential topics proposed by those already registered for InDIITA 2019.

How “Open Space” Events Work

The Agenda is Created Live Each Day By You
The agenda will be created live each morning by attendees who are present at the opening of the day. Anyone who wants to host a session that day can announce the topic and choose a space and time. There is no voting or choosing, other than you and your feet deciding where you want to go. In addition, you’ll have plenty of chances to exchange ideas and network.

Dynamic Participation and Tangible Outcomes

With no assigned speakers or panels, it is about getting stuff done. The event is designed to deliver outcomes, i.e., event session notes/Book of Proceedings, new pre-standards workstreams and ideas to develop technical solutions.

Seating is Limited to 85
15% Discounted rates are available to those who book early (prior to 31 May 2019)
