Last year, Reputation.com CEO Michael Fertik attended the first annual Privacy Identity Innovation Conference in Seattle. Since then, the issue of online privacy has exploded in the public eye, leading to a wide range of new privacy proposals from Congress.

This year, Reputation.com will again have a presence at PII to talk about privacy issues and where we stand as a country on personal data protection. At PII 2011, the focus is “Building Trust in a Digital Age.” Privacy and policy experts from across the technology spectrum will discuss how ethical and commercial interests intersect in the emergence of increasingly sophisticated digital technology.

Reputation.com COO Owen Tripp and CEO Michael Fertik will both be in attendance during the conference. If you’re attending PII 2011, keep on reading to learn when and where you can see Owen and Michael.
