About this Event

Wednesday, 11th March 2026, 6:00-9:00pm (In-person at WCIT Hall)
£25 - includes wine and nibbles
Digital identity has dominated the headlines in recent months, from government plans for a mandatory digital ID to tackle illegal working, to the addition of digital Veterans Cards in the GOV.UK Wallet, and the imminent changes to Mandatory Licensing Conditions that will, for the first time, allow alcohol to be purchased in person using a digital ID.
But what’s real, what’s rumour, and how does it actually work in practice?
Join us for an evening that cuts through the noise to explain what digital identity really means: how it’s created, verified, and used safely on your own mobile device. You’ll even have the opportunity to obtain and use your own digital identity during the session.
Key takeaway:


Walk away with a working digital identity on your phone that you can use to prove who you are securely, privately, and conveniently.
Speakers:

• Phil Young, Chief Technology Officer, Luciditi

• Additional speaker being confirmed

Agenda:

• The truth behind the headlines: what’s really changing and when

• Live demonstration: setting up and using a digital identity

• The future of digital proof for everyday use: from age assurance to access control

• Q&A and discussion over drinks

Who should attend:

WCIT members and guests interested in understanding the real-world future of digital identity and gaining hands-on experience in how it works.
