As digital ecosystems grow more complex and AI systems act with increasing autonomy, organizations need a stable foundation for secure, scalable, and reliable identity management.

At cidaas connect 2026, decision-makers, architects, and (C)IAM leaders will come together for two days of innovation, high-level networking, and expert insights focused on the future of Identity & Access Management in an AI-driven world.

New: The conference will be bi-lingual in English and German.

Innovation. Networking. Insights.

Identity is the Foundation. Then. Now. Beyond.

From ancient principles to AI-driven reality.

Centuries ago, societies were built on structure, clearly defined roles, and accountable access. These foundations created order and with order came trust.

Today, systems are digital. Yet from ancient order to AI-driven systems, the principle remains the same.

Identity & Access Management carries these timeless foundations into modern architectures, securing customers, workforce, and partners and enabling trust in an increasingly connected world.

Keytopics

Keytopics

Agentic Identity

Secure AI, bots, APIs & machines. Modern IAM protects non-human identities, delegated access, and machine-to-machine interactions while ensuring governance and compliance.

Modern Authentication Principles

Passwordless & Zero Trust. Passkeys, adaptive MFA, and risk-based signals deliver seamless experiences with strong, context-aware security.

Digital Sovereignty & Identity Control

Control your data & identities. IAM centralizes identity management, ensuring compliance and independence across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Identity as the New Attack Surface

Protect all identities. Humans, machines, and APIs are prime targets — prevent account takeover, detect anomalies, and embed privacy-by-design in every IAM strategy.
