We are very proud to have been one of the main partners and a co-organizer of the first-ever “Digital Identity unConference Europe” (DICE) in Zurich, Switzerland on June 7-9^th, 2023.

It was an exciting event filled with engaging conversations about digital identity. Over 160 attendees from around the world actively participated in the discussions.

Before the two-day unConference, DICE gathered experts and newcomers for a pre-conference and explored the latest topics related to government-issued digital identities together with government representatives from the Kingdom of Bhutan, the United Kingdom, Finland, the United States, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. During the unConference, the event came alive with an open and engaging format and more than 50 spontaneous sessions took place where experts from different fields came together and discussed relevant topics to do with digital identity.

Procivis has contributed with the following presentation and unConference sessions:

The aim of this presentation was to promote understanding of the challenges posed by different formats and protocols in the SSI space, as well as to provide implementers with actionable steps. It is important to stay protocol flexible!

unConference sessions:
