e-ID management is world wide on the agenda as a major economical, social and political
instrument, in the OECD (Working Party on Information Security and Privacy), in the European Union (i2010 eGovernment action plan and eID roadmap), in the Asian IC card Forum (Silk route card and the 1 billion China eID card project). In Europe Austria and Estonia have already full national deployment of their eID's, Belgium is half way down and other EU countries either already started to deploy or are in their planning phase. So the eID based service level is rapidly increasing while many more useful applications are in the pipeline. So applications are the new challenge as we are actually getting from single purpose to multi purpose, all in the context of a cardholder centric approach.
Hence now is the time to line up your activities with the world eID conference and see how you may learn, profit and contribute to the developments. The next edition of "World e-ID" is envisioned to be again an ideal opportunity to share visions, see new perspectives and opportunities and to develop and extend professional peer to peer contacts and networks.

The "World e-ID" Program Committee is inviting proposals for presentations from e-ID strategy planners, system developers, implementers, managers and industry leaders, e-service providers and others with extensive relevant experiences and insight in one of more of the following topic areas:
