​Clarification note on the Registration:

​Space at the Global Digital Collaboration Conference is limited to approximately 2,000 participants. A portion of registrations has been allocated for members of the open digital wallet and digital credentials community.

​Because availability within this community allocation is limited, priority may be given to individuals who are actively contributing to relevant open-source projects, working groups, or Special Interest Groups (SIGs).

​To help ensure that space remains available for these contributors, some registrations may be placed on a waiting list. Additional registrations will be confirmed as space becomes available.

​Thank you for your understanding and for supporting collaboration across the digital wallet and digital credentials ecosystem.
