Event Participation (EventParticipationCredential) type.

The EventParticipationCredential is a type of verifiable credential designed to confirm an individual's participation in an event. Whether it’s a conference, competition, workshop, or any other organized gathering, this credential provides a secure and verifiable way to document and acknowledge a person's involvement.

EventParticipationCredentials are particularly valuable in professional, educational, and creative industries where participation in certain events can significantly enhance an individual's portfolio, resume, or professional standing. By issuing such a credential, event organizers can formally recognize attendees, speakers, competitors, or contributors, ensuring that their participation is documented and easily verifiable by third parties.
