How do avatars, characters, and identities relate to each other?

What is self-sovereign identity (SSI)? What does it bring to the metaverse and how can it interact with web2, web3, and NFTs?

Bios

Cai Felipe Argimon, CEO at Linking Realities

From an early age, I've been passionate about technology, networks and development. By 13 I had internet access and started learning to code under my father's wing. I spent my twenties combining my two passions, tech and music. I had the chance to travel the world providing management support to some of the most relevant musicians in their world tours. After a professional burnout and career path challenges, I decided to work on my own project, joining forces as CTO to create WalkABit in 2018, leaving it in 2020 to focus on my last project, UNION. I was really tired of having 300 different accounts and passwords and I was looking for a solution to integrate all of them on the same software so Union was born. Aside from digital identity solutions, I still collaborate in projects like Anartist, a platform born out of the necessity of artists to be able to manage their career with free software, for and by artists.
I try to live life by the motto: “Fight for your dream, but never trample on others to get it”."

Jean Clauteaux, Ambassador of the Union at Linking Realities

I am the co-founder of a digital start-up, expert in business- oriented digital communities. General manager role with transparent and participative leadership. I am an expert in marketing and sales.
My passion: strategic thinking and managing complexity.
I was well exposed to finance, logistics and production.
I have successfully managed large teams. Global brand management skills: operational marketing, brand launches, and logistics.
My International Experience: 4 languages in English, French, Spanish, and Romanian, dual nationality (France-Venezuela); I worked in 18 countries and lived in the Amazon rainforest from 1978-1989."

Fraser Edwards, CEO & Co-Founder at cheqd

Fraser has a rare skillset, blending technology and business acumen and rarer experience. He has deep consortium and self-sovereign identity knowledge through leading the Known Traveler Digital Identity project with the World Economic Forum and Dutch and Canadian governments amongst the stakeholders and separately, blockchain payments expertise through architecting cross-blockchain payments on the Jasper-Ubin project with the Singaporean and Canadian Central banks. Fraser’s career has been a series of unique challenges, one after the other and he is thrilled to be taking on the adoption of self-sovereign identity as his next.
