CAMP: PRACTICAL BUILDING BLOCKS FOR ACCESS MANAGEMENT (June 15-17)
Do you have faculty demanding special access for their student assistants to
help manage some of their online course work? Scratching your head over how to
reduce your help desk calls and give researchers the tools they need to set up
their own collaborative projects? This CAMP workshop will address the
challenges of delivering electronic resources and online collaboration.
Academic and administrative stakeholders and their IT partners, IT managers,
security staff, and technical implementers will:

- Share case studies and emerging practices from academic, administrative, and
 research areas that can be used today.
- Explore the basic components of access management and their relationship to
 identity management and security.
- Learn about what stakeholders look for in access management and how to work
 together to make progress.
- Leave with advice from colleagues on how to incrementally build access
 management to reduce risk and ensure success, and more.

Knowledge of identity management concepts and related implementation
experience is strongly recommended.

ADVANCED CAMP: IDENTITY SERVICES SUMMIT FOR HIGHER ED OPEN/COMMUNITY-SOURCE
PROJECTS (June 18-19)
Are you working with one or more open-source or community-source projects as an
architect, a developer, or a deployer? Want to collaborate with the broader
community to make sense of the identity and access management (IAM) space to
ensure that delivered software will be more secure, integratable, consistent,
and usable? Join your colleagues at this upcoming Advanced CAMP workshop to
explore IAM issues and challenges. The outcomes of this discussion-oriented,
participant-driven workshop include:

- Identifying new IAM requirements for current projects.
- Creating opportunities for new IAM-oriented projects.
- Improving channels for collaboration among IAM-related projects.
- Increasing the alignment of complementary work among projects.
- Enhancing the understanding of the changing identity landscape.
