Authenticate Conference
Carlsbad, CA · Mid-October · Hybrid
What this conference is for
The FIDO Alliance's annual event. The single best venue for passkey deployment lessons, FIDO2 spec evolution, and meeting the implementers behind every platform authenticator.
Who attends
Identity engineers shipping passkeys at scale, FIDO Alliance member companies, platform vendors (Apple, Google, Microsoft) sending engineers (not just marketers), regulators tracking authentication policy.
Content quality
Highly technical. Real production data from deployments. Sessions on hostile UX edge cases, recovery flows, and platform interop are the differentiator.
Worth attending if
- You're deploying or planning passkeys
- You contribute to FIDO2 / WebAuthn or want to
- You need to meet the people behind platform authenticator implementations
- Phishing-resistant authentication is your strategic priority
