Canada is leading by example on the world stage in its adoption and implementation of digital identification technologies. In Ontario, digital identity is at the forefront of conversations in technology and privacy legal circles, and while steps have been taken by the province to implement these technologies, there remains a number of questions and misconceptions that limit its widespread adoption. Hear from our expert faculty as they explore emerging issues surrounding:

• What digital identity is and how it works
• Enhanced vaccine certificates and the potential use of vaccine passports when travelling
• Legal questions in privacy, data protection and human rights with the use of digital identification technologies
• What happens to individuals who reject the use of digital identity
