About this edition

The identity room, wherever you are.

Enterprise AI has moved past the question of whether it works. The question now is which platforms it runs on, what it costs at scale, and who is accountable when it acts.

Enterprise AI Global puts the engineers building AI systems and the leaders deciding where AI goes next in the same room. Two streams run under one roof: AI Engineering and Infrastructure, and Enterprise AI Strategy and Transformation.

The East Coast edition runs at the New York Marriott Marquis on October 14, with 500+ AI, data and technology leaders from 300+ organizations across North America, and 24 partner organizations in the room.

Enterprise AI Global East Coast
Why attend

The identity room, not an identity track.

01

A curated, invite-only room

Every attendee is a practitioner. No vendors in the audience, so the conversations are candid and the comparisons are real.

02

Built for interaction, not slides

Roundtables, think tanks and audience activities, with two of the day's hours given over to breaks and networking by design.

03

Peers who own the same problems

The CISOs, Heads of IAM and identity architects running workforce identity, CIAM, IGA and PAM at large enterprises.

The content

What the day actually covers.

01 — The identity control plane

PLACEHOLDER — workforce identity, CIAM, IGA and PAM landing on the same team, and how the best programmes are structured.

02 — Machine & agentic identity

PLACEHOLDER — non-human identities and AI agents as first-class principals, and what governance actually looks like.

03 — Proving it to the board

PLACEHOLDER — access governance under regulator pressure, and how to evidence maturity without stalling delivery.

The platforms this room actually runs on.

Ten partners maximum per event. That cap is what keeps booth engagement and meeting quality high.

About

What this edition is for.

Identity is the control plane

PLACEHOLDER — workforce identity, customer identity, privileged access, machine identities and now AI agents all land on the same teams, while credential-based attacks remain a leading cause of breaches.

A room, not a track

PLACEHOLDER — at most security conferences IAM is a stream inside a much broader event. Here it is the whole room, which changes what people are willing to say.

Practitioner-led programming

PLACEHOLDER — content is guided by a community of 500+ professionals, so the agenda reflects what teams are actually shipping rather than what vendors want to present.

Agenda

A day built for momentum.

Short, sharp and interactive. Two hours of the day are breaks and networking by design.

Opening Keynote: Identity Is the New Security Front Line

Keynote

Identity has become one of the biggest security risks facing organisations. As machine identities grow rapidly and AI agents begin acting on behalf of people, traditional approaches to identity and access are no longer enough.

This keynote explores why identity is now central to enterprise security, what's driving this change, and how organisations can prepare for 2027.

Keynote: Digital ID's Next Phase — What Private-Sector Adoption Means for Australian Organisations

Keynote

With Australia's Digital ID system now opening to the private sector under the Digital ID Act, organisations face a genuine strategic choice: become an accredited relying party, wait, or build alongside. This keynote unpacks where the rollout actually stands, the accreditation and cost realities of myID and the AGDIS, and how leading organisations are turning verified digital identity from a compliance obligation into a trust and onboarding advantage.

09:40

Unified Identity: The Security Fabric for Human and Non-Human Enterprise Governance

Keynote

Okta and Deloitte present a blueprint for unifying identity governance across employees, contractors and machine workloads in hybrid and multi-cloud environments — and what it takes to run one security fabric across all of them.

Keynote: Verified Digital Identity's Next Phase

Keynote

Government-backed and industry digital identity schemes are moving into mainstream private-sector use. This keynote unpacks where adoption really stands, the practical requirements of taking part, and how verified digital identity reshapes onboarding and fraud reduction — and the trade-offs on the way.

Panel Discussion: Governing the Ungoverned — Non-Human Identities and Agentic AI

Panel

Autonomous AI agents are now provisioning access, calling APIs, and making decisions on users' behalf, yet most organisations have no framework to govern them. This panel brings together security leaders wrestling with the non-human identity governance vacuum: how to authenticate, authorise, monitor, and revoke identities that never sleep, multiply fast, and increasingly act on their own.

How I Solved… Going Fully Passwordless: Rolling Out FIDO2 and Passkeys at Scale

Case study

With passkeys crossing into the mainstream and a large majority of enterprises now deploying them, passwordless is no longer aspirational. In this case study, a practitioner walks through a real phishing-resistant authentication rollout — the pilot, the pushback, the edge cases (shared devices, legacy apps, deskless workers), and the measurable impact on help-desk load and account takeover.

How I Solved… Locking Down Privileged Access in a Zero-Trust World — PAM Meets Threat Detection

Case study

Standing privileges remain the fastest path from a single compromised credential to full breach. This case study details how one organisation re-architected privileged access management inside a zero-trust model and wired it into identity threat detection and response (ITDR), moving from static admin accounts to just-in-time access with live detection of identity-based attacks.

Panel: The Quantum Clock Is Ticking — Post-Quantum Readiness for Identity Systems

Panel

NIST's post-quantum standards are final and migration deadlines are now set, but identity systems — certificates, tokens, signing keys — are among the hardest things to make crypto-agile. Harvest now, decrypt later makes this urgent even before quantum computers arrive. This panel maps a realistic path from crypto-inventory to migration for the identity stack specifically.

How I Solved… Unifying a Fragmented Identity Estate: Closing the Integration, Budget, and Skills Gap

Case study

Most organisations don't have one IAM problem — they have a decade of them stitched together: legacy directories, M&A leftovers, siloed cloud IAM, and a team too stretched to fix it properly. This case study follows a practitioner who consolidated a genuinely fragmented identity estate without a green-field budget or headcount, showing what got prioritised, what got cut, and how they built internal buy-in to sustain it.

Keynote: Trust by Design — Biometrics, Privacy, and Building an Identity-First Culture

Keynote

As biometrics and behavioural signals become core to authentication, the hardest questions are no longer technical but ethical: consent, bias, proportionality, and what happens when identity data is compromised. This closing keynote argues that durable identity security is as much cultural as technical, and lays out how to embed privacy-respecting, identity-first thinking across the whole organisation.

Session formats

Four ways the room works.

Short, sharp and interactive by design. No slide-after-slide days.

Keynotes

Solo stage time from a practitioner or an invited expert, framing where the discipline is heading.

20 to 30 minutes
Panels

Three or four leaders comparing programmes directly, moderated to stay concrete rather than abstract.

30 minutes
Roundtables

Small-group peer discussion on a single named problem, with no audience and no slides.

50 minutes
Demos

How I Solved sessions: a practitioner walks through one real problem and exactly how they fixed it.

15 minutes
1-2-1 meetings

Meetings you opted into.

Attendees choose who they want to meet, so every meeting is relevant on both sides. Nobody is assigned a stranger.

Sponsors are not charged for a fixed number of meetings. If demand is there we keep booking them — some partners get 10 to 15 at no additional cost.

Partner with us

How we do events differently.

01

Invite only audience

No vendors attend unless they are sponsoring. The audience is real end users, many of whom engage with Clutch year-round through roundtables and briefings, so you are not walking into a cold room.

02

Practitioner first

Built to drive interaction through roundtables, simulations, small group activities and workshops rather than slide after slide.

03

Sponsor to attendee ratio

Ten partners maximum per event, so attendees do not get sponsor fatigue and booth engagement stays high.

04

1 to 1 meetings, uncapped

Attendees choose who they meet, so every meeting is opted in. We do not charge for extra meetings — some sponsors get 10 to 15 at no additional cost.

Who is in the room

Your buyers and the engineers who run it.
