2. Takea away since last time attending before pandemic:

   1. Last time was everyone still deciding on the technology

   2. I think we're all agreed on, you know. 4 years ago I went to a session with Sam Smith, just introducing KERI, and now we had sessions on Kerry for dummies, which was fun, Kerry 101, 201 and 301.
   3. Sam also had 3 session and discussed how do you do security, confidentiality, and privacy in transactions

   4. A lot of discussion about trust registry and how we could use DNS, the existing infrastructure, and that was also advanced at today's Trust Registry Task Force. I think that's starting to take hold because you know it doesn't it won't require much change in in in the backbone of the Internet to support. So I think that there's a groundswell of interest around trying to kind of move forward with that

Kyle Robinson

Judith Fleenor 

1. Wenjing Chu presented on AI
2. Timothy Ruff spoke on organizational identity and how it's probably a bigger business model in some ways than individual identity, because if once an organization has an an identity, then they can issue identies for employees
