The Trust Fabric: Four Centuries in the Making. Identity carries it. Orchestration makes it work.

Every business runs on a fabric it did not design: suppliers, partners, contractors, customers, and now agents, transacting across boundaries nobody controls. That fabric runs on trust, and trust has been engineered deliberately for centuries. Seals, registers, standing instructions, correspondent houses.

This session argues that the Identity Fabric is the layer that carries trust in the modern business fabric, and that orchestration is the capability that makes it able to. Not because identity matters most, but because it is the only layer that touches every actor and every action.
