Dear DICE Community,

We are excited to inform you that in 2025 there will be two DICE events with distinct focus while building on each other for progress and impact.

This approach enables us to offer two key touchpoints for the European community that align well with IIW in California. By scheduling outside the busy May/June conference season, we avoid the challenges of overlapping international events, making it easier for participants to attend.

We look forward to welcoming you in Zurich, in March and in September 2025.

Sincerely,

Your DICE committee

DICE 2025

September 2-4, 2025

The 2025 Edition of the Annual Gathering for Digital Identity Innovators in Europe

A three-day event dedicated to advancing the technological foundations of digital identity and trust ecosystems. DICE 2025 will:

Focus on core technologies, governance frameworks and standards for resilient identity infrastructures.

Utilize an Open Space format, allowing participants to co-create the agenda.

Explore identity technologies, government-issued digital frameworks, and privacy considerations in a connected world.

Everything but a set agenda

The Open Space unConference format is based on the notion that is the people who are making it happen. This event provides an opportunity to co-create the agenda live each day. The most relevant and pressing topics by those making these initiatives happen can be shared and discussed. The key to effective alignment and interoperability is having forums like this where no one entity is “setting the agenda” and where all interested parties can show up in a neutral space and shape the agenda together.

The Open Space unConference process will be professionally facilitated by Heidi Nobantu Saul and Kaliya (Identity Woman) Young.

Submitted topics so far...

The submitted topics highlight the diversity of ideas contributed by participants during event registration. From digital health and interoperability to governance and user adoption, these proposed subjects underscore the community's dedication to advancing dignified digital identity across Europe. While the final agenda will be co-created live during the unConference, this evolving list reflects the collective expertise and passion of attendees, laying the groundwork for dynamic discussions and collaborative problem-solving. 

As new submissions are added daily, this page will be updated regularly, offering an ever-expanding preview of the conversations that will shape the agenda. Be part of this growing dialogue and help drive meaningful outcomes during the unConference.

why dice Europe?

The intention of DICE is to Foster collaboration and work together on the adoption of a dignified digital identity between governments, citizens, and companies across Europe. 

unConferences are particularly generative, with a facilitator we will co-create the agenda live each day of the event. There are no keynotes or panels, it’s all about exploring the topic with professional peers from a range of identity areas. Click here to learn more.

There are many reasons that secure identity systems are needed for connecting to others, tracking trade, supporting labor markets, and crossing borders.  Significant investments have been made into the development of interoperable standards, protocols, systems application layers, conceptual use cases, and more.
