Increasing emphasis from leading industry players as well as the widespread deployment of government-backed identity schemes has generated a tremendous wave of public interest in many of the issues associated with digital identities. These developments have made the management of digital identities a hot issue for businesses, public sector organisations and service providers as well as millions of Internet users.

This year's eema conference focuses on many of those issues that are at the forefront of industry and governmental initiatives and have relevance in many other social and commercial contexts. Top speakers from across Europe will deliver presentations and lead roundtable discussions on enterprise identity management issues, federated identity, national identity cards, personal digital identity as well as the legal and sociological aspects of digital identity. Something for everyone!
