How it Works

For Day 2 of MOSIP Connect, we invite you to bring your best ideas, wear casuals, carry your coffee into the room, and participate in MOSIP's first open-learning event.

The day will begin with a combined gathering, where an agenda will be curated by and for the group at large. Once the topics are set for the day, we will break into smaller groups to deep-dive into the selected themes through focussed discussions, workshops, panels, and networking conversations.

The success of an unConference will be made by you – the delegates, participants, and guests at MOSIP Connect.

Active Participation

Participant-Driven Agenda: At the start of the unConference, attendees propose discussion topics, highlighting the themes most relevant to them, which are then grouped into breakout sessions.

Open Forums: All attendees are encouraged to contribute, whether by sharing insights, leading discussions, or posing critical questions.

Collaborative Exchange: Participants should actively listen, engage constructively, and respect diverse perspectives to foster an open, inclusive dialogue.

Facilitation, Not Moderation: Instead of formal moderators, sessions will be led by the session host. The session can have facilitators on-request, who will guide discussions, ensure inclusivity, and keep the conversation aligned with the theme.

Guidelines

No Product Pitches: Discussions should remain neutral and centered on the digital ID ecosystem, policy, interoperability, governance, and innovation — rather than specific products or vendors.
Flexible Session Styles:
- Workshops & Presentations (Non-Product-Specific): Interactive sessions on methodologies, case studies, or policy approaches.
- Roundtable Discussions: Informal yet structured conversations around key themes.
- Lightning Talks: Short, participant-led presentations to introduce new ideas or challenges.
- Open Q&A Forums: Peer-to-peer knowledge-sharing and problem-solving.
