WHAT
Curbivore is the premier event exploring the intersection of technology, mobility and commerce, bringing together policymakers, entrepreneurs and industry experts to examine how cities and businesses are evolving in response to the digital economy. Held at AirGarage Arts District in downtown Los Angeles on April 10-11, 2025, the conference features keynote speakers, panel discussions and hands-on demonstrations that showcase the future of urban life. Its four key themes are: Last Mile Delivery, Restaurants & Retailers, TNCS (Transportation Network Companies) & New Mobility, and Civic Tech & Labor.

As part of the event, Stuart Vaeth, senior vice president of strategic business development at Trua, a pioneer and leader in reusable, verified, digital trust credentials, will participate in a panel discussion, titled “Securing the Shared Economy: Reducing Risk, Increasing Trust & Safety.” While the gig work revolution has led to a surge in new mobility and delivery options, it also demands new solutions for identity verification, safe driving practices and insurance sustainability.

A recent study, commissioned by Trua and conducted by Talker Research, which surveyed 2,000 American adults, revealed the following key findings:

82% of Americans lack confidence that service providers on digital platforms (including rideshare, home services, dating, and job platforms) are properly vetted.60% would pay extra for enhanced background checks.87% say platforms fail to communicate how their personal data is used and safeguarded.There is a near-universal demand for background checks, with over 85% of respondents across all age groups considering them an important component of online platforms and apps.86% of respondents state that an online platform’s reputation for safety and security is important to their decision to use it.
