April IAM Online	InCommon Futures2: The Conversation Continues Wednesday, April 17, 1 p.m. ET   Last month’s release of the InCommon Futures2 Report, “Promoting Digital Collaboration,” marked an especially exciting and important time for IAM in the research and education community. The report represents the culmination of a strategic planning process we began in June 2023 to help guide a vibrant future for InCommon and explore the identity and access management (IAM) challenges facing the research and higher ed community.    With the community’s leadership, we developed a shared statement of direction and strategic objectives that will drive where our IAM capabilities collectively need to be in 2028. Kevin Morooney and Marc Wallman will present the final InCommon Futures2 report and answer questions. We encourage you to review the report’s Executive Summary before the webinar. You can also download the full report.    (This is an encore presentation of a session facilitated at the 2024 Internet2 Community Exchange in Chicago.)   Speaker:  Marc Wallman, Vice President, Information Technology Division, North Dakota State University Kevin Moroney, Vice President of Trust and Identity and NET+ Programs, Internet 2   Please note: If you have already registered for a previous IAM Online webinar in the last year, you will automatically receive Zoom coordinates for current and future IAM Online webinars – you only need to register once!
