Are you wondering how other practitioners survived the COVID-19 crisis? Would you like to be better prepared if something similar happens in the future? Do you know about technologies, tools and other helpers that can transform your practice into a virtually untouchable one?
Don't let another megavirus catch you off guard. Learn how and get ready to survive without losing clients and stopping your work.

§ Digital signature – public-key cryptography associated with the document
§ Biometric – electronic and digital signature authenticated through biometrics instead of password (facial recognition, fingerprinting or iris scan)
§ Blockchain enabled signatures/documents – permanent reference to the documents, unalterable and time-stamped, can be combined with encryption
§ Verifiable credentials – user controls how, when and to whom their proof of signature is shared
