All 2026 Conference Topics

2026 Conference Topics at a Glance

The 2026 agenda delivers the latest technology, strategy and leadership insights across key topic areas, covering the challenges most critical to IT and IAM executives.

Access Management (AM)

Modern AM enables secure, frictionless access across users, apps, APIs and data. Learn how to enforce least privilege, enable just‑in‑time access, and adapt controls for cloud, SaaS and AI‑driven environments.

 

Aligning IAM Strategy With Cybersecurity Strategy

IAM is the control plane of modern cybersecurity. Discover how to align IAM priorities, architectures and investments with zero trust, risk management and business outcomes to reduce exposure and improve resilience.

 

Authentication

Authentication is evolving beyond passwords. Explore phishing‑resistant MFA, passkeys, adaptive authentication and identity proofing strategies that balance security, usability and compliance in a rapidly changing threat landscape.

IAM Architecture

A strong IAM architecture is foundational to scale, resilience and zero trust. Learn how to design interoperable, policy‑driven IAM architectures that support cloud, hybrid, decentralized identity and AI workloads.

 

IAM for Agentic AI

Agentic AI introduces new identity, access and trust challenges. Learn how to define, govern and secure AI agent identities, enforce least privilege and apply behavior‑based policies in autonomous, machine‑speed environments.

IAM Program and Strategy

Successful IAM requires more than tools. Explore how to build and sustain an IAM program with clear governance, roadmaps, metrics and executive alignment — while delivering business value under budget and resource constraints.

Identity Governance and Administration (IGA)

IGA brings visibility, control and auditability to identity sprawl. Learn how to modernize life cycle management, access reviews and policy enforcement for workforce, third‑party and nonhuman identities at scale.

Machine IAM/Nonhuman Identities

Nonhuman identities now outnumber humans. Discover how to manage life cycle, access and governance for machines, workloads, service accounts and APIs — reducing risk from unmanaged and over‑privileged identities.

 

Privileged Access Management (PAM)

PAM is critical to reducing breach impact. Learn how to modernize PAM with just‑in‑time, ephemeral access, better visibility and integrations with IGA and zero trust to secure users, machines and AI‑driven access.
