We strongly encourage delegates to register and attend in-person if possible as the conversations and networking that takes place during the breaks and post conference drinks reception really add significantly to the delegate experience. Delegates attending our last identity event in person said,

“To be sat in the room and listen without distraction to the speakers on stage is really important to me. Many times at these great events I have found some of the speakers during the breaks and shared further conversations with them.”

“For me the networking with colleagues across government and suppliers in the identity space is as valuable as the discussions be shared on stage. I often stay in contact with people I meet at the conferences.”
