Information for Sponsors and Exhibitors
With more than 450 attendees from 23 countries, European Identity Conference 2008 in Munich has been a major platform in Europe to create, support, and foster the dialog between GRC and identity management thought leaders and users, but as well between thought leaders themselves, between Europeans and Americans, vendors, vendor partners and users, between open source initiatives and the market.
European Identity Conference (EIC) is the place to meet with enterprise technologists, thought leaders and experts to learn about, discuss and shape the market in most significant technology topics such as Identity Management, Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (GRC) and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). With it´s world class list of speakers, a unique mix of best practices presentations, panel discussions, thought leadership statements and analyst views, EIC has become an absolute must-attend event for enterprise IT leaders from all over Europe.
For the first time in 2009, Kuppinger Cole will organize the Identity Management Conference Istanbul with a similar format like EIC.
Identity Management Conference Istanbul 2009
Adapted to Eastern European Markets, a similar event like EIC will for the first time be held in Istanbul/Turkey. With the exception of a smaller number of parallel tracks and without day 4 workshops, the event format will be similar to EIC Munich.
ID-conf Istanbul will be held in English.
The character of the conference agenda in short terms:
- Pre-conference workshops, keynotes and 2-3 parallel session tracks with panel discussions and best practices presentations
- A combination of regional best practices and international best practices
- Additional topic area: Identity Management & Security
The character of the Expo:
- Tabletop presentation style with optional full service offerings
- You are free to use your own banner walls, or to order additional walling from our expo furnishing partner (see below)
- All social & networking events like coffee breaks and lunch, take place within the Expo area, which therefore is the central point of the whole show
