Kantara was participating in a range of European conferences in May. First up was the Kuppinger Cole hosted European Identity & Cloud Conference in Munich with a combined Kantara AGM and members plenary on Monday May 14th. The AGM and member plenary was attended by around 15 members primarily from Europe but we had representaton from north America and Asia-Pac too. Kantara's own pre-conference workshop the following morning Tuesday15th was exceptionally well attended. As a taster, here are Eve Maler's slides presenting the UMA Work Group update. You can review the presentations of this and all other Kantara events in the Events Archive. Each year the conference organizers give us a bigger room and each time we fill it. We may have had the largest crowd of any pre-conference workshop this year and we certainly achieved a "quorate" gathering of UMAnitarians, which Eve posted on the UMA FB page! :). Eve also presented later in the week on Leveraging UMA's Power for Compliance and User Control, which reflected the current state of the group's work on its business model. See her presentation here.
We started the following week in London for Kantara's first own-brand Summit for Marketing, Media and Privacy on Tuesday May 22nd. We have had lots of fluctuations in fortune with this event leading up to it. This was partly due to other events crowding in the week which, back in January when we confirmed it, was clear of any other similar events, and also partly due to our fantastic speakers being called upon to do last minute corporate or client work around GDPR, leaving us with the unenviable job of replacing them with equally good speakers. As it turned out the event #MMaP2018 was well attended, the speakers were fantastic, and the was a real buzz in the room as the awkward and uncomfotable questions were asked and discussed by distinguised Keynote speakers and expert panellists. Our liaison partner OpenConsent Group staged a workshop the two days following #MMaP2018 and the reports from those workshops as well as the presentations from the main event are in the Events Archive.
Later that same week, I keynoted the afternoon session at IAMwithUBI, the first Nordic located Identity conference organized by our Finland based and staunch Kantara supporting member Ubisecure. My keynote was a mash up of a well-known wedding rhyme (HT to the UK royal wedding the previous weekend) to the current state of digital identity.
