What this conference is for
The Gartner IAM Summit is the analyst-led identity event, held in the US (Grapevine, TX) and the UK each year. Its center of gravity is strategy and the buying conversation: Magic Quadrants and Market Guides, maturity models, and where Gartner sees IAM, IGA, and PAM heading. It is aimed at leaders setting direction and budget more than engineers writing code.
Who should attend
Identity and security leaders, program managers, and anyone building a multi-year roadmap or a vendor shortlist. The analyst one-on-ones and market framing are the draw.
What to expect
Analyst keynotes, market direction, and a large vendor expo. Strong for understanding the commercial landscape; lighter on deep protocol content than Identiverse or IIW. Use it alongside our vendor selector and methodology.
Coverage
We cover the highlights, focusing on market direction relevant to buyers.
