W3C is pleased to be part of the GDC Council and co-organize the Global Digital Collaboration Conference 2026. 

It is the second edition of the conference, where sector leaders across topics like digital identity, including wallets, verifiable credentials, trust frameworks, technical standards, and regulatory issues will meet to bridge gaps in the ecosystem, and foster cross-sector innovation.

The conference is co-organized by intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, in particular standard development, and open source organizations. It is an event by invitation only and it is anticipating 2000+ attendees. 

W3C is contributing to the program of the event. Team and members will be on site and there will be ample opportunities to meet there face-to-face.
