Description

Every interaction leaves a narrative gap—the space between what is said or presented and what is understood. But what if you could take control of that process? Introducing verifiable credentials: a new way in which professional organizations can help their stakeholders with trusted and secure data and credentialing; removing the guess work and bringing trust back into every digital interaction.

In this webinar, your peers from the association executive industry will share their three big ways in which verifiable credentials have brought benefits to their professional organization:

  1. enhanced credibility of certification programs
  2. immediate impact on member retention
  3. operational efficiency

 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Secure Credential Management: The immediate impact on credibility of certification programs.
  2. Member Retention: Rising global adoption of verifiable credentials due to their security and interoperability.
  3. Operational Efficiency examples: How employers and association stakeholders use verifiable credentials to instantly streamline the process of credential recognition.
