In May 2021, we celebrated the publication of Self-Sovereign Identity: Decentralized Digital Identity and Verifiable Credentials, the most comprehensive resource on SSI to date.
In this webinar, the co-authors – SSIMeetup’s Alex Preukschat and Evernym’s Drummond Reed – will share their biggest takeaways from their two-year effort working with over 50 other contributing authors to compile ‘the book’ on self-sovereign identity. They’ll also go out on a limb and make five surprising predictions about the future of SSI based on where they see SSI going as a technology, an architecture, and a movement.
As a special gift, all attendees will get a discount code for 37% off their purchase of Self-Sovereign Identity, in either print or digital format.
