The seminar is on (online) Identity and associated issues and implications. The panel speaking are:

I will be focusing mainly on the combination of identity and location services and the potential impact of these for good or bad.

If you have an interest in this area, you are welcome to attend. Just let Don Hollander know for catering purposes.
