What is EIC (European Identity Conference)?
With more than 550 attendees the European Identity Conference (EIC) 2010 in Munich has been the major platform in Europe to establish, continue and intensify the dialog between GRC and identity management thought leaders and users from all over the world, and between vendors, vendor partners and users.
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 Cloud Computing. With its 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 and has been intensively covered in the news, in many blog entries, newsletters and Kuppinger Cole Reports.

Take Advantage of our Conference (Direct) Marketing + PR Campaigns
For EIC 2011, we will further focus on a value oriented marketing approach, streamlining report and webinar topics with EIC agenda and products/standards/technologies to be showcased at EIC. Overview:

The reports will be promoted through the KC website and through the KC newsletter. The reports are strictly neutral, providing the view of KC on products and vendors.
