Women In Identity (WiD) kicked off at Identiverse in Chicago in June 2017. We were wondering at the time how many people would turn up…….we shouldn’t have been concerned because it was a fantastic success and there was standing room only! In June we also launched our website, twitter handle @womeninID and Linkedin group. Please do follow us, share our thoughts and loop us in on interesting articles. Spurred on by the support we had in Chicago, the WiD steering group figured it might be worthwhile organising a local meet up too. SO, here it is ….our first UK meet up is scheduled for 29^th January 2018 at RISE in London from 6-8pm. Barclays have kindly provided the space at RISE for us and refreshments will be sponsored by Ping Identity. Key reasons to attend this informal networking event:

• build your network with other women in the UK’s Identity industry
• feedback to WID so we understand what will help you most
• get involved in shaping the future of the group - help with our future meetings etc

We’d like to thank both Ping and Barclays for their kind support. It would be great to have you there so please register if you are able to join us. Could you also let us know if, once you’ve registered, you can’t then make it so we can confirm final numbers with the sponsors. Don’t forget calls for the One World Identity (OWI) “Top Influencers in Identity” is now open. Please nominate someone you know, and the full list will be revealed in February.  It would be great to see more Women in Identity in the list this year!
