The Global Digital Collaboration is a public private partnership to gather key stakeholders—including tech companies, standards organizations, and government representatives—to explore use cases and share best practices that enhance global interoperability. This unique collaboration aims to foster greater alignment in technical, policy, and regulatory frameworks across various domains, ultimately building trust in the global digital economy.
Day 1 (July 1) of the GDC will highlight collaborations of governments and the private sector around the world, working on the challenges and opportunities regarding digital trust, identity, credentials and wallets in the morning. In the afternoon the community will gather to see real-world examples of use cases and implementations addressing these ecosystems. Day 2 (July 2) will be even more interactive, with stakeholders, co-conveners and working groups meeting, collaborating and presenting on specific topics relevant to their communities. All throughout, there will be structured and unstructured time for networking, breakout sessions and discussions.
The Global Digital Collaboration is free to attend for all participants, but there is a limited number of tickets allocated to each of the co-convening organizations. In the coming days, OWF will send an email to everyone who is subscribed to our mailing list with URL/instructions for how to register. If you would like to recommend this event to a colleague, they can subscribe to the newsletter here.
The agenda is still being set, but we also want your input. For the Day 2 breakout sessions, we are currently planning the agenda for the OpenWallet Foundation room. If you would like to present or have an idea for a session, send an email to community-architects@openwallet.foundation with the subject, “GDC OWF Room proposal” and let us know what you would like to present or topics you would like to see discussed. OWF Staff will review these proposals and get back to you.
We would like to thank all co-organizers of the Global Digital Collaboration, the sponsors who are making this event happen, the Swiss Government which is hosting this event and the CICG Geneva Switzerland which will host us on these two days.
We look forward to seeing you in Geneva!
