  Keynote Presentation- Web 3.0 – Identity, data ownership and implications for background check service providers

Web 2.0 is characterised by a hub-and-spoke model to data capture and data control, whereby users interact with central platforms that capture and often then exploit user and usage data. In contrast, Web 3.0 will enable individuals to capture and control their own data. In a Web 3.0 environment, background check service providers will need to interact with subjects to a much greater extent than at present. Furthermore, data may only be made available for specific purposes, and on a time-limited basis. This session will introduce Web 3.0 and how the new internet architecture is expected to impact data ownership and control. The objective will be to arm attendees with knowledge which enables them to consider and prepare for likely impacts to data access and their business models

  What Roles a CRA Can Play in the Block Chain 
  Ecosystem?

Blockchain technology has been making waves in the recent past across industries that involve real estate, supply chain & logistics, cross-border payments, Cryptocurrency exchange, Personal identity security – to name a few. Blockchain uses a shared and permanent ledger that can be accessed by authorized users with the data owners’ consent. The technology provides enhanced security, data transparency, automation and instantaneous traceability, that are prized factors among players in the background screening industry.  

But you must be wondering how do you or your organization get involved in this ecosystem. This session will provide valuable insights in terms of various roles that a CRA/background screening organization can play and their benefits. You will also hear about how screening industry players or other interlinked industries are adopting this technology from the leaders of Velocity Network Foundation who have set-out to create a program that is vendor-neutral and non- profit with the aim to transform global businesses using future-ready technology. The foundation builds and operates the infrastructure, toolset and common technology across multiple providers to help create a consortium of verified wallets – the end result that can help revolutionize the background screening industry, as we know it.
