Hello everyone,
Welcome to 2018! As the Holidays fade from near term memory, everywhere I look across the Kantara community, I see us pushing ahead with New Year's resoutions, business plans and new initiatives.
January heralds the start of Kantara's year as it does for many. That involves planning and executing tactics to support the strategic and business objectives that Kantara's leadership has set itself. The year looks busy at the outset, even before any ad hoc opportunities that might arise throughout the year are considered. We moved Kantara's first own-brand International Privacy Summit to May 22nd for a variety of reasons, and we will release further details over the coming weeks. We are coalescing around EIC 18 a e organization plans we have looking both near term and further out in the year, a consequence November was a busy conference month that started for me in Brussels with Kanatara's European-based liaison partner EEMA with its annual ISSE conference and back to Brussels again the following week to keynote at the IAM Belgium conference. Kantara's very well attended pre-conference workshop to curtain-raise Kuppinger Cole's Consumer Identity World Tour 2017 in Paris, followed the week after where we were blessed with nearly a full slate of Working Group reps that updated attendees on activities. Thank you Mark Lizar from OCG, Thorten Niebuhr from Wedacon, Corne van Rooij from iWelcome, Justin Richer from Bespoke Engineering, Martin Sandren from Nixu, Keith Uber from Ubisecure, plus our member and liaison speakers, Katryna Dow from Meeco, Allan Foster from Forgerock and Joni Brennan from DIACC. Thanks also to Mike Acuri from Facebook who provided us an early insight into Facebook's Account Recovery application. And we finished a great day with well earned refreshments in a bar bistro close by. Thanks once again to sponsors Forgerock and Saviynt!
