Information for Sponsors and Exhibitors
More than 250 satisfied participants and 100 speakers have attended the 1st European Identity Conference 2007, which offered a unique combination of CxO-level decision guidance with trend analysis and workshop-like presentations, moderated panels, and discussions in 4 parallel tracks. More than 20 best practice presentations from different industries like automotive, banking/insurance, eGovernment and telecommunications gave insight into real world identity management deployments.
A packed space with 35 exhibitors which at the same time served as a business networking area and an exchange place for ideas rounded up this successful event, with evening events and Bavarian beer.

- Identity, Compliance & Risk
- SOA & Identity Management - Identity as a Service
- Identity & ERP
- OpenID & CardSpace
- Federated Identity Deployment Strategies
- Scaling Identity, Provisioning & Roles Lessons Learned
- Identity Driven Security
- Authentication, SSO, Network based Access Control
- Industry Focus Panels for Telcos, Automotive, Finance, Healthcare & eGovernment
Dave Kearns recently wrote in his famous newsletter:
"Maybe what we really need is an identity fair (or "identitie faire") with PowerPoint presentations for those who need them and hands-on labs for those who don't. Something for everyone, under the big top. Not just a "dog-and-pony" show, but a real three ring circus."
This format is the concept of Kuppinger Cole's European Lead Event for the Identity Management market - and we will further intensify it with the second release of the European Identity Conference on 22nd - 25th April, 2008 in Munich - with Dave Kearns actively contributing to it as a moderator and keynote speaker.
