Why Should you Attend the Symposium?

Securing identity in today’s increasingly digital landscape has proven to be a challenge across Government, the Military Services and private industry around the globe. The increased scope of unknown actors trying to gain access to sensitive information and locations has prompted the U.S. Government to actively improve its identity management and biometric capabilities to provide greater insight on the behavior, intent and actions of security threats to vital U.S. interests

The 2018 Identity Management Symposium will provide a forum for members of the DoD, DHS, Federal Government, Private Industry, Academia, and other relevant stakeholders to discuss the latest updates from key organizations involved in advancing identity and access management practices and biometric solutions that enhance National defense and security capabilities.

DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summits’ content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in the Identity Management and Biometrics communities, as well as key policy-makers across military and civilian offices. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
