Throughout history, identity has been a fairly static concept, you as a physical being. Now, with the unstoppable trend toward digitization, there’s a rapidly developing new era of digital identity. Your digital identity will affect countless areas; how you work, interact, learn, shop, and play, pretty much all areas of your life will be up for change. Of course, with all the significance comes interest from corporations, governments and other institutions that want influence over your personal sphere.

Those are the stakes for inaugural K(NO)W Identity Conference. Trulioo is very proud to sponsor the conference, which promises to convene the world’s most influential organizations and smartest minds across all industries to shape the future of identity. The conference will take place May 15-17 in Washington, DC. Stop by our Booth 101 to talk about these important issues.
It’s going to kick-off with a bang, with the one and only Edward Snowden, doing the opening keynote as well as an audience Q&A. The famous whistle-blower/truth-seeker revealed numerous global surveillance programs and is either reviled, or revered, for his daring act, depending on your personal opinion on the topic. Whatever your views are on the matter, the keynote is simply one you cannot miss, and that’s just one component of the conference.
Trulioo’s CEO Stephen Ufford will also be participating on two panels:
