The SIP Forum Announces Conference Lineup for 2023 - KYC Summit and SIPNOC
2023 Dates Set

New Virtual KYC Summit, focused on 'Know Your Customer' Strategies,
Solutions and Best Practices, to be held the week of June 12, 2023; SIPNOC
2023, the 12th Annual SIP Network Operators Conference, will return to live,
in-person proceedings September 12-14, 2023 in Herndon, VA

The  <https://www.sipforum.org/> SIP Forum proudly announced today its event
lineup for 2023, which includes a new virtual KYC Summit
<https://www.sipforum.org/news-events/kyc-summit-2023-overview/> , a special
webinar series focused on 'Know Your Customer' strategies, solutions and
best-practices, to be held the week of June 12, 2023, and SIPNOC 2023
<https://www.sipforum.org/news-events/sipnoc-2023-overview/> , a three-day
educational conference to be held in Herndon, VA on September 12-14, 2023 at
the Hilton Washington Dulles Hotel.

SIPNOC 2023 will return to live, in-person proceedings, and continue and
expand its focus on the broad Call Authentication ecosystem, including
STIR/SHAKEN, Call Analytics and Vetting, Branded Calling and Rich Call Data,
International Traceback and STIR/SHAKEN adoption, KYC initiatives,
Enterprise requirements and challenges, new SMS Text Authentication
initiatives, associated Federal and State regulatory and enforcement
actions, and more.

Developed jointly by the SIP Forum and ATIS (the Alliance for
Telecommunications Industry Solutions) to efficiently implement the Internet
Engineering Task Force's (IETF) STIR (for Secure Telephony Identity
Revisited) standard,
<https://www.sipforum.org/activities/nni-task-force-introduction/> SHAKEN
(for Signature-based Handling of Asserted information using toKENs) defines
a mechanism to verify the calling number and specifies how it will be
transported across communications networks.

Together, the STIR/SHAKEN Call Authentication Framework offers a practical
mechanism to provide verified information about the calling party as well as
the origin of the call - what is known as "attestation" - for the first time
in the network. Giving service providers the tools needed to sign and verify
calling numbers makes it possible for businesses and consumers to know,
before answering, that the calls they receive are from legitimate parties.

KYC Summit and SIPNOC 2023 attendees will include telecommunications
providers, major backbone operators, interconnect and wholesale solution
providers, ISPs, cable operators, wireless network operators and large
enterprises, as well as other industry stakeholders in the Robocall/Robotext
and Caller ID Spoofing elimination/mitigation ecosystem, including
governmental regulators and agencies, equipment manufacturers, contact
centers, application providers, and data analytics firms.

"The SIP Forum is excited to be highlighting 'Know Your Customer'
strategies, solutions, and best-practices during our new virtual KYC Summit,
as KYC has emerged as an essential part of the Call Authentication ecosystem
and is vital to the formulation of a comprehensive solution to eliminating
illegal Robocall fraud and spam," said Marc Robins, SIP Forum President and
Managing Director, and SIPNOC and KYC Summit Program Chair.

"During the pandemic, while we successfully shifted to producing fully
virtual events, our community had extremely limited options for coming
together to meet and network, discuss and share ideas - and we are thrilled
that we will once again be meeting live and in-person in September at SIPNOC
2023, where we will provide broad coverage of the requirements, challenges
and the opportunities presented by the Call Authentication community," added
Robins. "We created SIPNOC to provide a meeting place for the international
community of communications engineers and network operations professionals
who deal with the real-world intricacies of providing communications
services on a day-to-day basis, and with SIPNOC 2023 we plan to continue
this important tradition."

"The scourge of robocalls and robotext continues. Though progress has been
made, there is still much work to be done. We are delighted that we can
return to in-person events post-pandemic while having some virtual events on
an as-needed basis.  We certainly want to hear from members of the Call
Authentication community and enterprises ASAP on potential topics to cover.
This is a very dynamic industry. The technical and regulatory landscape is
changing in the United States, Canada and Internationally on a monthly
basis," said Richard Shockey, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the SIP
Forum.
