Episode Notes

Welcome to this pre-event episode of On Location, where we’re diving into what’s to come at Identity Week Americas, happening September 11th and 12th, 2024, at the Washington Convention Center in D.C. Although I won’t be on-site, Jeff—who leads the Identity Defined Security Alliance (IDSA)—gave me the inside scoop on why this event is one you can’t afford to miss.

Our conversation ranges from the critical role of digital identities and payments, to the pressing challenges facing the identity landscape today. Jeff shared insights on the panels he’ll be participating in, like Interoperable Digital Identities and The Future of Payments, giving a preview of the big discussions that will take place at the event.

We even touched on more serious global issues, such as the plight of refugees who lack identification, and how Identity Week is working toward solutions that can have a real impact. On top of that, the SIDI HUB Summit will run alongside the event, focusing on creating a standardized, globally recognized digital identity system.

With Identity Week happening across multiple continents—from the Americas to Europe and Asia—the need for international collaboration has never been clearer. Jeff’s vision for a globally interoperable identity system is ambitious, but the starting point is simple: practical steps like multi-factor authentication and building awareness about identity security.

As we look forward to the event, Jeff also mentioned that there might still be some passes available for those interested in attending. Whether you’re in the public sector, tech, or simply passionate about identity solutions, this event is your chance to get involved in shaping the future.

Stay tuned for more coverage, and thanks for joining me on this pre-event journey as we explore what’s in store at Identity Week Americas.
