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. 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.
