What is an Open Space unConference?

An Open Space unConference is a participant-driven event that uses the Open Space format to enable real-time collaboration on topics that matter most to participants over the second two days.

This format is well suited for complex and evolving fields such as digital identity where the organizing team cannot predetermine what needs to be discussed.

There is no fixed agenda. Participants create the agenda live at the start of each day Open Space unConference day by proposing and hosting sessions on topics that matter to them. The format is professionally facilitated to provide structure while keeping content ownership with the participants and enabling real-time collaboration.

This Open Space format differs from traditional events by creating a space where every voice can be heard, from students and startups to established organizations. It supports practical discussion of digital identity challenges while also strengthening connections across the ecosystem in Europe and beyond.

How it works?

At the start of each day the agenda is co-created live by participants, guided by a professional facilitator 

Participants propose session topics, which are placed on a shared Agenda Wall with assigned times and spaces. Once the Agenda Wall is complete, it becomes the live agenda for the day containing multiple concurrently running sessions over 5 session time slots.
