Where their work shows up

IIW has run twice a year since 2005 as an unconference with no keynotes, and a startling share of what became OpenID Connect, OAuth, and decentralized identity was argued out in its sessions first. Vendor Relationship Management, his other project, poses the question the industry still has not answered: what identity looks like when the person, not the service, holds the relationship. See the conferences directory and the IIW profile.
