Educational conference tracks are finalized by a multi-industry conference program advisory committee, lead by members of the Smart Card Alliance. The Smart Card Alliance program advisory committee seeks new topics for consideration for this year’s conference program consistent with its theme of “Smart Strategies for Secure Identity”. The proposed topics should involve the government–lead policy and infrastructure changes for enhanced security for physical and network (logical) access, trusted identities and the health information technology. Examples of topics that that the program committee will be considering are:

Technology: Hardware, software, mobile devices, PKI, credentialing, ID management, etc.
Use Cases: Federal PIV, NSTIC, Internet/mobile ID, other ID/access programs, etc.
Healthcare: Health ID and security, medical record security, etc.
State, Local US & International ID: Government-issued citizen ID, consumer ID initiatives, etc.
Emerging Trends: Mobile device ID, ID management policy, new strategies, market trends, etc.

The conference program steering committee favors vendor-neutral, educational presentations that focus on the real-life applications of payments and digital security technologies and systems.
