Be Supportive of more Local Connection between events

• IIDinners -> leading into IIW thinking about topics for IIW
• They can be an opportunity to connect with other related niches
  • Privacy
  • Privacy Lawyers
  • Security
  • IoT
  • AdTech
  • AdBlocking
  • Blockchain

GamesNight? - the women in Seattle already do this

Identity Conference Evangelism, word of mouth -> people invite new people

• ´ Ping
• ´ Forge Rock
• ´ Gartner IAM
• ´ DIDW2?

Developer Events * API Days - have an ID track OR RESTfest

Indiewebify.net / Ben – Known & Kevin Marks

Meetup Groups we could reach out to. LinkedIn Groups focused on IAM and maybe blogging there. Pods/Groups coming from other countries together Japanese organizes by framing it as a IdM specialist study trip to silicon valley What could make this more compelling visiting companies on Friday/Monday Survey - leading questions

Host a monthly Twitter Chat? (idea since the event that Kaliya had) Here is an example of how they work/mechanics from ChangeMakers https://www.changemakers.com/blog/fabricofchange-twitter-chat

Explaining better what happens and what goes on at IIW.

• The topic is so broad some people "should be here" but don't know
• Who is at IIW - High level thinkers who are visionary.
• Why are they here? They Love the unconference format and the Dynamic it brings.
• Create a WordCloud from the Book of Proceedings.

As topics come in can we curate them?

• MindMap Past and current events
• Who people are like "speakers" presented
• Use a Panel Picker Like tool to input ideas for sessions

Ideas to broaden participation

• Fellowship Program from sponsors for attendees.

Cousin Events

• European Workshop for Trust and Identity (Austria/Europe)
• Identity North (Canada)
• AustralAsia???

Social Event around IIW Pre/Post

• Women's Spa Day? (Kaliya has thought of this on the weekend before or after)

Consider Pre-event with "speakers"
