Managing Identity in New Zealand: Conference 08

This major international conference was held on 29-30 April 2008 in Wellington, New Zealand.  The conference was  presented by Victoria University of Wellington in partnership with the State Services Commission and the Department of Internal Affairs.

This two day event presented state of the art thinking, research and practice around managing identity in the 21st Century. The conference focussed on the development and future directions of identity management (IdM) in New Zealand, and its wider implications for users, with particular reference to the introduction and use of new digitised forms of IdM. A major issue for future IdM is how to establish user-centric IdM: individuals’ ability to control the (digital) representation of their identity and its potential uses.

Dialogue between key identity management stakeholders from government, business and academia evolved thinking on the broader topic of identity, and promoted knowledge sharing.
