Scaling Community Trust: InCommon Confab

April 26-27, 2012
Arlington, Virginia

www.incommon.org/confab2012.html

**Registration fees increase after March 30.**

Why come to the InCommon Confab?

Catch Up and Gear Up: InCommon has rolled out many new programs in the past 12 months—categories of service providers, assurance, and federated error handling just to name a few. What do these mean to you and how can you participate?

See the Future: Ken Klingenstein, middleware and security guru, will be on hand to discuss what the future will bring.

Reach Orbit (see topics to the right) — New (or relatively new) to federated IdM? We'll cover the basics and introduce you to the concepts you need.

Next Level: What's up with uApprove, default attribute bundles, multifactor authentication, and other hot topics? Hear from, and discuss with, your colleagues.

Two Tracks

Explore a day-and-a-half of sessions covering a wide range of topics related to federated identity, certificates, assurance, and who’s doing what. After each topic, you’ll hear more about how to get involved and connect up with others.

• Reaching Orbit — making a plan to take federation to the next level
• After You've Achieved Orbit
• Plus plenty of time for hallway conversations
