Digital trust and the architecture of participation by Scott Davis

In 2005, Tim O’Reilly coined the phrase “architecture of participation”, a Web 2.0 concept that pivoted the web away from a “publishing” metaphor to one of “participation”. Over thirty years later, Sir Tim Berners-Lee (the creator of Web 1.0) is back with a new perspective on the architecture of participation - one that is personal, privacy-based, and most strikingly, identity-based. His new decentralized approach to participation reintroduces the idea of digital trust back into our lives at a time when it is deeply needed and conspicuously absent. In this keynote, Scott will give pragmatic examples of digital trust that exemplify this new emerging era of the web and advise on how digital trust can be a competitive advantage for early adopters.
