How Digital ID Is Reshaping the Travel Industry [Live Event]

Digital ID is already transforming how we move through the world. From faster airport check-ins to personalized hotel experiences, identity is becoming portable, private, and verifiable.
To explore what’s real, what’s next, and what identity organizations should be doing today, we hosted a live conversation with two people at the forefront of this shift. Annet Steenbergen, an advisor to the EU Digital Identity Wallet Consortium, shared insights from the large-scale pilots testing the EUDI Wallet across Europe. And Nick Price, CEO of Netsys and Co-Chair of the Decentralized Identity Foundation’s Travel & Hospitality Working Group, brought a global perspective from his real-world implementations of decentralized identity technologies.
