The European Parliament will hold a hearing on age verification the day after tomorrow (Wednesday afternoon, 6 May). This is of interest to anyone involved in the field of identification (‘verification of the identity’), given that age verification regulations will eventually mean that everyone will have to identify themselves everywhere.

The program:

Panel 1 – Institutional perspectives, with:
* Yvo Volman, Director at DG Connect, European Commission
* Vincent Toubiana, Head of the Digital Innovation Lab at the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL)
* Francisco Pérez Bes, Deputy to the Presidency of the Spanish Data Protection Authority (AEPD)

Panel 2 – Perspectives of academia, civil society and industry, with:
* Prof. Kai Rannenberg, Chair of Mobile Business & Multilateral Security, Goethe University Frankfurt
* Simeon de Brouwer, Policy Advisor at European Digital Rights (EDRi)
* Giulia Torchio, EU Affairs Officer at 5Rights Foundation
* Julian Corbett, Head of OpenAge Initiative
