identiverse

And we're continuing here with another one.

We did sort of like a mini one, I guess, at Identiverse, Sean, that We were passing back and forth the official Identity Center token and having some fun with that.

But let's talk a little bit about today.

What do we got on the docket?

If you had to pick your favorite episode that you've done with us, what would it be? Or are they all just so special and so memorable?

So I think the thing is, they're all quite different, right? Like, although I'm usually talking in a similar context, right? It's either as conference chair of Authenticate or conference chair of Identiverse, and that tends to be, you know, the frame that we're using.

we're always talking about such different things because the event evolves, the industry evolves, the profession evolves.

And so I enjoy them all, but they are all very different.

In fact, we were talking about Andrew Shikia just a minute ago, and he came and spoke to me when Fido was originally looking at setting up Authenticate.

um he and i sat down and had a conversation about it and you know talked about some ideas and so on and so forth um and one of the things that came out of that was you know let's make sure that we have a solid relationship between particularly identiverse which obviously i was involved in um from from a long time before that uh and authenticate so that the two events it you know, kind of exist in a, it will coexist in the right kind of way because they do set out somewhat to achieve slightly different things, right? And they're very complimentary as a result of that.

And so one of the things that came out of that was, you know, let's make sure that Andrew Shikiar has a role to play from an advisory perspective for Identiverse.

And so he's been an advisor there, you know, pretty much since that time for exactly that reason.

And there's so many amazing industry experts out there that have such a wealth of kind of industry experience and also kind of really can also visionaries as well.

So Going to conferences like the Capricicool EIC or going to Identiverse really allows me to get a kind of really good overview into where the industry is going and what's the challenges and how some of the ideas and methods, they're solving those moving forward.

So it was always great to stay connected.

But I also, I love taking things for a test drive as

the future, right, and kind of work through it together.

That's why I love Identiverse, is bringing together people who actually care to solve identity problems, come up with amazing solutions.

Maybe somebody's in the corner screaming about some problem that may not be a real problem today, but will be in three years, and we can all latch on to them and kind of solve problems together.

So,
