Brief

The brief asked to avoid the trap of a passive conference and guarantee a collaborative and creative situation for leading experts, policymakers, technologists, and funders of digital identity in Asia Pacific to generate ideas against rapid innovations and related risks.

Being the very first event of this kind in the region, the creation of the event's visual identity, related visibility materials and website design were also required.

Solution

Create a non-conference. UnConferences are generative encounters focused on co-creating a live agenda at the start of each day of the event. There are no keynotes or panels. As peers, the participants lead the discussion and ask for direct feedback and inputs on their fields of expertise.

Outcome

In a fast-moving field where leaders and top thinkers innovate and develop new technologies for trade, government operations, or social services, they constantly face new risks and challenges. Predetermining what they should discuss was not possible.

Without the constraints of an imposed format and focused on collaborative inspiration, the open space unConference allowed technologists, businesses and public officials to engage as a community and not as competitors.

Each participant explained their work and shared their opinion on the expertise of others, helping towards building more secure and integrated digital identity solutions for platforms, governments, businesses and people to connect.

To manage, and secure all content and data, we used inwink to create a multilingual event platform in Thai and English languages, that facilitated communication and sharing updates and relevant information between all participants.
