What this conference is for
The European Identity & Cloud Conference (EIC), run by analyst firm KuppingerCole, is Europe's premier identity event. Held in Berlin each spring, it blends analyst research with practitioner sessions across IAM, CIAM, IGA, Zero Trust, and decentralized identity, with unusually strong coverage of European regulation and the EU Digital Identity Wallet.
Who should attend
European identity leaders and architects, anyone navigating eIDAS 2.0, NIS2, or DORA, and practitioners who value analyst perspective alongside real-world case studies. It is the best single event for the European regulatory and verifiable-credentials conversation.
What to expect
Analyst keynotes and frameworks, deep tracks on governance and decentralized identity, and a strong European vendor presence. EIC is where the EU wallet and verifiable-credentials ecosystem is debated most seriously.
Coverage
We cover EIC in full, with emphasis on the European regulatory and standards threads most relevant to our readers.
