What is the The Symposium of the Digital Person?
The Symposium of the Digital Person is an annual event organized by the HAT Community Foundation (HCF) and Dataswift as a unique cross-disciplinary environment for a robust discussion on the “state of the digital person”. This year's event also featured presentations on global projects and case studies on how the state of the digital person is being improved globally.
Participants include industry captains, policy makers, government representatives as well as thought leaders from the sciences, humanities and social sciences domains who come together for discussions relating to law, computer science, history, sociology, entrepreneurship, business, economics and the global society.

Theme
The theme for the 5th Symposium of the Digital Person is The Empowered Digital Person: Global Projects with Data Passports and Personal Data Servers, addressing the problem statement of equity and economic justice, as well as how Personal Data infrastructure technology is now unlocking entire markets for SMEs across verticals.
The Symposium on March 1 2022 showcased projects in Dataswift's ecosystem that are leveraging Data Passports and Personal Data Accounts (PDAs) to rapidly transform business models, and hopefully, entire verticals. Their emerging innovations are delivering commercial breakthroughs through data portability, whilst providing individuals with greater agency and rights, all resulting in market solutions that are finally achieving organic scalability, equity and economic balance.
