You Are Here: Find Where You Need to Go Next.


In 2009, every enterprise is asking itself, "What do we need to do now, and what can we do without?" This year's Gartner Identity and Access Management Summit will help you establish the hierarchy of IAM priorities that's appropriate to your organization's needs, and execute on those priorities as effectively and economically as possible.

Customize Your IAM Program
IAM has emerged as core IT infrastructure for all enterprises, but this emergence has happened faster in some verticals than others. To help you find the information most relevant to your needs, this year's Summit is organized around three levels of IAM program maturity.

IAM Conference Tracks


IAM Foundations: Building a Strategic Plan, Architecture, Controls and Processes
A sound IAM program starts with understanding how your organization currently handles users' digital identities and the importance it places on these as a business asset. The strategic plan, architecture, controls and processes all flow from this understanding.

In Transit: Deploying, Integrating and Managing
This track focuses on deploying, integrating and managing the key technologies, such as user provisioning and enterprise single sign-on, that make significant contributions to the modern IAM infrastructure.

Reaching Goal: Increasing ROI and Next-Generation Objectives
Designed for enterprises that are at a high level of maturity in their IAM programs, and now strive for operational excellence. Track will explore new IAM technologies, such as role life-cycle management, and the value of technologies that are not traditionally considered part of IAM but are adjacent to it, such as data loss prevention, security, information and event management, and network access control.
