Gartner Announces Identity and Access Management Summit 2012

December 3-5, 2012 at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas



What: Gartner Identity & Access Management Summit

When: December 3-5, 2012

Where: Caesars Palace, Las Vegas

Details: Identity and access management is at an inflection point. Enterprises must accommodate major changes in IAM product/service purchasing, staffing and organizational changes, and process re-engineering to realize business value. IAM is too expensive to continue to be treated as an infrastructure add-on or a necessary evil.

To understand IAM’s future, we must examine the “nexus” of converging forces — social, mobile, cloud and information — that is building on and transforming user behavior while creating new business opportunities

This “nexus” of converging forces is the foundation of this year’s Gartner Identity & Access Management Summit, December 3 – 5, in Las Vegas, NV.  With four tracks and more than 48 sessions featuring new Gartner Research on topics, including: Future IAM technology directions, and trends; IAM best practices for deployment and operations; IAM, security, mobility and cloud computing; and IAM program maturity scoring and assessments.

  • How IAM can support cloud, social, mobile and information initiatives
  • IAM best practices for deployment and operations
  • IAM program maturity scoring and assessments
  • Realizing and justifying IAM value for the business
  • IAM, security and cloud computing choices and maturity
  • IT Governance and IAM
  • IAM markets, trends, and technologies
  • The economics of IAM
