Identity in Messaging Solutions are Emerging – how will the industry change?

Sender identity is the root of much of the concerns on fraud and customer experience but changing an established technical framework has proven difficult. Regulatory pressure and solutions are now driving new approaches to limit such as smishing and Spam/unsolicited communications.

iconectiv’s Chris Drake, SVP Corporate and Business Development, will be joining other industry professionals to discuss emergent technologies and solutions and the impact they will have on the industry. Multiple solutions are considered for messaging: from STIR to Registries: Technology and solutions are now emerging to challenge - do these solutions work? Will they support better customer experience? Will they impact the industry negatively?

The panel session will take place on June 28, 2022 at 7:35 AM ET.
