Please join us at our next Digital Credentials Regulars get-together with Drummond Reed at our virtual pub “The Self-Sovereign” on June 7th from 5 - 6 p.m. CEST.
Drummond will be sharing his analysis on the updated EU Digital Identity Architecture and Reference framework: eIDAS 2.0, offering his perspective on problems and opportunities as well as implications for future EU-US cooperation. We look forward to chatting with Drummond about his transformative work on self-sovereign identity and trust and are curious to hear his opinion on current discussions around unique and persistent identifiers, enhanced wallets, trust architectures and the role of the private sector in the field of digital identity.
