Expand your industry knowledge

Our agenda revolves around some key themes

Customer loyalty

Customers want quick and easy access to services, but also want meaningful interactions with brands they trust. Is delivering a cohesive identity experience across all touchpoints the secret to customer retention?

Building an ecosystem

Different industries have unique drivers and challenges when it comes to digital identity, but as wider standards and trust frameworks drive interoperability, could an outward-looking approach be the key to progress?

Fraud and abuse

As online fraud continues to surge, retailers need solutions to mitigate account takeover, friendly fraud and bonus abuse, without damaging their product offering and alienating genuine customers.

Data privacy concerns

Customers are increasingly concerned about how their data is used and stored online. Trust is a two way street and only by prioritising privacy, transparency and consent can businesses ensure their users feel secure.

Innovation culture

Seamless identity management can improve employee experience, enhance efficiency, lower costs and ultimately lead to better results for end customers. How are various functions across organisations embracing change?

Online safety pressures

Faced with regulatory requirements to protect users from harmful content, scams and bad actors, how are digital platforms leveraging identity and age verification solutions to ensure trust and safety.

2024 agenda

9:05 - 9:10 - Welcome and opening remarks

Welcome to Future Identity Customer 2024. Find out what to expect from the day ahead.

9:10 - 9:50 - Panel: Building consumer trust in the face of rising fraud

The digital world offers many innovative ways of engaging with customers but also creates new avenues for fraudster to exploit. How can businesses build online journeys that keep bad actors out but give genuine customers confidence in their safety and security? How can education, innovation and regulation help to build trust in the face of evolving threats?

9:50 - 10:10 - Keynote: TBC

More details coming soon.

10:10 - 10:50 - Panel: What’s next for online safety?

Social media and online entertainment platforms have revolutionised how we interact online, but as usage has expanded so has the spread of harmful content and activity. Should more be done to verify the real-world identities and ages of online users and block bad actors? Where does liability lie if something goes wrong? What has been the impact of regulatory change and what more needs to be done? 

10:50 - 11:20 - Morning coffee break

Time for a quick break! Grab a tea or coffee before joining the final panel sessions or roundtables of the day.

11:20- 11:40 - Fireside chat: Digital accessibility - Breaking down barriers

The accessibility of a digital identity solution is vital to widespread customer adoption. Unresolved system biases could mean some demographics are inconvenienced or worse, excluded from access altogether. How do we ensure all customers have a seamless experience? How do we design and build accessibility in right from the start? What about those customers who require additional assistance? 

11:40 - 12:20 - Panel: Accelerating the future of customer experience

As businesses compete for customers in a fast-moving online world, considerations like how easy it is to onboard to a service and how quickly checkout can be completed are increasingly important. Is seamless digital identity the key to delivering a superior customer experience across multiple channels? How can brands use identity data to unlock valuable behavioural insights and offer greater personalisation?

12:20 - 12:40 - Fireside chat: The unfriendly face of ‘friendly fraud’

Businesses are incurring significant costs from chargebacks, returns fraud and bonus abuse schemes. Often customer data resides in siloes making it easy for such ‘friendly fraudto slip through the net. By linking customer profiles to digital identities can businesses get ahead of suspicious activity? How can businesses effectively mitigate misuse without alienating genuine customers and negatively impacting their product offering?

12:40 - 13:40 - Lunch break

Lunch is served! Head to the catering area on the expo floor, explore the networking options, and don’t forget to visit the exhibitor booths.

1:40 - 1:45 - Welcome back to Future Identity Customer

Welcome back to Future Identity Customer. Find out what to expect from the afternoon ahead.

1:45 - 2:25 - Panel: Data is knowledge, knowledge is power

Customers are required to verify identity time and again leaving behind a trail of vulnerable data. Can we shift away from a siloed approach and allow businesses to leverage data sharing to get a more complete picture of customer behaviour? How can data-driven decisioning help to detect fraud in real-time and minimise the delay genuine customers face in accessing products and services? What does it take to ensure data privacy and consent are protected? 

2:25 - 3:00 - Panel: The mobile identity revolution

As mobile quickly becomes the primary channel for customers to engage with finance, retail, social media and many more services, secure mobile identity is a priority. How can the features built into mobile devices be leveraged for faster and stronger verification? How do businesses overcome the kinds of user friction resulting from OTPs and 2FA? Will mobile ID wallets allow users to securely store smart, reusable credentials, for convenient proof of identity? 

3:00 - 3:30 - Afternoon coffee break

Time for a quick break! Grab a tea or coffee (…or a famous festival craft beer!) before the last sessions of the day.

3:30 - 3:50 - Presentation: A spotlight on insider fraud in the Financial Services sector

The impact of fraud on customers and businesses is widely discussed but often overlooked is the impact of insider fraud. How have the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and an increase in remote working contributed to a rise in financial fraud and data theft originating from inside a business? How can financial institutions better understand and work to tackle this ever-present threat? 

3:50 - 4:15 - Fireside Chat: The employee as a customer

How are businesses securing identity and access management for employees whilst enabling smooth onboarding and login experiences. What are the risks businesses are faced with and how do innovation, education and culture all play a role in evaluating and defending against new threats? How can seamless employee identity improve efficiency and lower costs, resulting in better outcomes for both businesses and end customers?

4:15 - 4:55 - Panel: Balancing compliance, security and growth

Customers today expect increasingly seamless payments and onboarding experiences. How can innovations in digital identity and open banking enhance the online journey, while mitigating risk and keeping customers and their data secure? How are new regulations altering the landscape and how are businesses ensuring compliance? How can businesses be sure to choose the right technologies to prevent fraud while securing future growth? 

4:55 - 5:00 - Closing remarks
