Identiverse 2026 is not built for people who want vague cybersecurity talk and a few recycled slides. It is built for identity leaders who need practical answers on trust, security, privacy, and growth. The event says it is the world’s largest event dedicated to digital identity and digital trust, bringing together the global identity community to accelerate innovation and strengthen the foundation of digital trust.
Taking place from June 15 to 18, 2026 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, the event is built around expert-led sessions, hands-on learning, curated matchmaking, and a large expo experience. Identiverse says it will feature 250+ speakers, 100+ topics, 700+ organizations, and 70+ hours of strategic content.
Where Identity Conversations Get Real
Most events talk about identity like it is a feature set. It is not. It is the foundation of trust, and Identiverse makes that point very clearly. The event says identity leaders come here to learn what is next, build relationships that fuel collaboration, and walk away with clarity on how to drive growth, enable innovation, strengthen security, and safeguard privacy.
That is the real shift. Identity is no longer just access management. It now sits at the intersection of security, product, governance, privacy, and business enablement. Identiverse is built around that reality instead of pretending identity is a narrow technical discipline.
What to Expect at Identiverse 2026?
Immersive education with real depth
Identiverse says its program is designed to give participants practical skills, actionable strategies, and fresh perspectives they can immediately apply. It is not a passive conference. It is a working environment for identity professionals.
Robust multi-track content
The event is built around content for every identity role, including compliance and risk, development and engineering, enterprise strategy and innovation, executive leadership, management and directors, privacy and data protection, identity and security architects, and security operations and analysts.
Curated matchmaking and community
Identiverse says attendees can build community and access curated one-on-one matchmaking. That matters because identity is one of those fields where the right peer conversation is often more valuable than another generic presentation.
A large expo focused on next-generation technology
The event also says it offers the largest expo experience advancing next-generation technology. So it is not just about sessions. It is also about seeing what is being built, shipped, and adopted.
Up to 20 CPEs
Identiverse says attendees can maximize ROI by earning up to 20 CPEs. That makes the event especially useful for professionals who need the conference to count in more ways than one.

Key Themes Driving the 2026 Program
Identity as digital trust
The homepage frames Identiverse as a gathering centered on the foundation of digital trust. That is not just branding. It is the core business case behind the event.
AI and non-human identities
The agenda includes the Non-Human & AI Identity Pavilion, and the site says AI and machine identities now outnumber humans and are expanding the attack surface. That is a very different problem from traditional workforce identity, and Identiverse is leaning straight into it.
Continuous identity and modern access models
The agenda also includes a Continuous Identity in Practice Workshop, a Passkeys and Verifiable Digital Credentials Workshop, and an MCP Hackathon focused on AI identity. That shows the conference is dealing with the future of identity, not just the current tooling stack.
Women in identity leadership
The Women in Identiverse summit goes beyond representation and focuses on leadership, influence, governance, trust, risk, strategy, and long-term stewardship. The page is explicit that the conversation is about women shaping identity strategy, not just showing up in the room.
Senior decision-makers, not spectators
The Exchange is an invitation-only 1:1 meeting program for senior decision-makers, built to create meaningful business connections. That makes the event feel more like a deal-making and strategy room than a standard conference.
Featured Speakers and Industry Voices
Identiverse does not rely on a handful of generic keynote names. It brings in identity leaders, security executives, technologists, standards experts, and policy voices. Some of the featured speakers include:
- Andre Durand – CEO & Founder, Ping Identity
- John Pritchard – Chief Executive Officer, Radiant Logic
- Andrew Shikiar – CEO, FIDO Alliance
- Eve Maler – President/Founder, Venn Factory
- Vikas Mahajan – Vice President & Chief Information Security Officer, American Red Cross
The Identiverse Experience
Identiverse is clearly built as a multi-layered experience. There is the main conference, the workshop and summit structure, the curated Exchange meetings, the Women in Identiverse summit, the NHI + AI Pavilion, and other special experiences like bootcamp and puppy yoga. That mix gives the event a serious core with enough personality around it to keep it human.
The special experiences page also shows how intentional the schedule is. The Exchange runs Monday morning, the bootcamp is on Tuesday morning, Women in Identiverse runs Tuesday afternoon, and Puppy Yoga shows up Wednesday morning. This is not random filler. It is a structured event experience with room for connection, learning, and a little bit of relief.
Why Identiverse 2026 Matters
Identity has become one of the most important layers in the modern enterprise. It touches security, customer experience, AI, governance, privacy, and operational trust all at once. Identiverse matters because it does not treat that complexity as a side issue. It builds the whole event around it.
Attendees walk away with practical strategies, stronger peer relationships, exposure to the latest thinking on non-human and AI identities, and a much sharper view of where the field is going. That is the point. Not noise. Not theater. Real identity work, in a room full of people who actually have to solve it.
