An individual is the only ethical integration point for their own data from different sources.

The Consortium catalyzes a Personal Data Ecosystem where individuals control their own data by enabling a thriving network of businesses around personal data stores and services. Our two constituency initiatives:

• The Startup Circle - for startups committed to putting people in control of their own data, open standards and interoperability

• Industry Collaborative - for existing industries seeking to understand opportunities, launch pilot projects and ultimately offer services in the ecosystem.

  RSA (The world’s leading security conference) is coming to San Francisco and many people from a range of efforts focused on identity and personal data will be in town.  It will be a great mix of implementors from a variety of projects working on making interoperability real, legal issues and innovations, along with the NSTIC (National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace) pilots and governance proposals.
  
  
  We will begin at 9am (doors at 8:15 AM), and close by 5pm. We will start by creating the agenda for the day as we do at IIW, providing the opportunity to do a range of real work on key emerging topics and issues in real time.
  
  
  It is at Bohemian Loft again this year, close to downtown, and a short subway or taxi ride away from Moscone.
  
  
  Please let us know if you have any questions.
