Per Rich Furr, the Smarcard Alliance event was very oriented to one technology  - smartcards, which is a PKI technology, and there was a fair amount of discussion about smartcards in healthcare. Deb Gallagher (sp?) made two presentations in which Kantara was cited. Joni Brennan was on at least one of the panel groups that presented on Thursday. There were between 18 and 20 people present, many of whom were fairly new to the identity management space. Myisha was also present.
