Global Identity Community Gathers in Record Numbers at Identiverse 2026

LAS VEGAS, NV, June 25, 2026 — Identiverse, the leading conference for digital identity professionals, concluded its 17th annual event at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, welcoming a record-breaking global community of identity practitioners, cybersecurity leaders, policymakers, standards experts, technology innovators, and business executives.

‍

With more than 3,700 attendees and close to 200 sponsors, Identiverse reinforced its position as the identity industry's premier event, bringing together the people, technologies, and ideas shaping the future of digital identity, cybersecurity, privacy, artificial intelligence, and digital trust.

‍

Over four days, the global identity community came together to examine the technologies, standards, and strategies shaping the future of identity security. As organizations navigate increasingly complex cyber threats and AI-driven environments, Identiverse once again served as the industry's premier forum for education, collaboration, and innovation.

‍

"The continued growth of Identiverse reflects the critical role identity now plays in securing the modern enterprise," said John DelMauro, Executive Vice President, CRA Events at CyberRisk Alliance. "What makes Identiverse unique is not simply its scale—it is the quality of the conversations. Whether advancing identity standards, securing AI and machine identities, or redefining enterprise security strategy, this is where the global identity community comes together to move the industry forward."

‍

DelMauro continued, "Identity has evolved far beyond traditional access management. It has become the foundation of digital trust and the intelligence layer that enables organizations to securely embrace cloud, AI, machine identities, and increasingly complex digital ecosystems. The conversations taking place at Identiverse are helping define the future of cybersecurity, and we are incredibly proud to provide the forum where those conversations happen."

‍

Identiverse 2026 featured more than four days of technical education, executive programming, peer-to-peer collaboration, hands-on learning, and networking opportunities spanning the full identity ecosystem. Conference programming covered identity and access management (IAM), identity governance, authorization, privacy, identity standards, artificial intelligence, non-human and machine identity, enterprise security architecture, and the practical implementation challenges organizations face as digital environments become increasingly distributed and interconnected.
