Workshop Overview
The Digital Identity landscape is undergoing one of the most significant transformations since GDPR, driven by eIDAS 2.0 and the rollout of the EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI). With mandatory acceptance deadlines approaching and increasing enforcement across the EU, organisations need to quickly build the knowledge required to navigate regulatory requirements, technical standards, and practical implementation realities.
With penalties reaching €5M or 1% of global turnover for non-compliance, and the December 2027 mandatory acceptance deadline just 16 months away, organisations face compressed implementation timelines. Typical enterprise implementations require 9-18 months, meaning organisations starting now risk missing compliance deadlines and facing significant financial penalties.
This comprehensive 3-hour workshop equips you and your teams with the foundational knowledge and actionable insights to prepare for compliance and to understand the broader opportunities in digital identity. Delivered by Vidos experts in regulation and digital credential verification, the session combines structured learning with practical discussions of real-world implications. The workshop features an interactive format with a mix of lecture, real-world discussion, and hands-on working sessions, designed to be engaging and practical rather than a standard presentation.
