Identity & Access Management Sydney
FAQ
What is Identity & Access Management Sydney?
Identity & Access Management Sydney is an in-person conference for senior identity, cyber security and technology leaders responsible for how organisations govern identity, access, privilege and trust. The inaugural event takes place on 10 February 2027 at Royal Randwick Racecourse and gives the IAM community a dedicated forum within the wider CISO Sydney event portfolio.
The event reflects a fundamental change in the role of identity. Organisations are no longer managing access only for employees. They must govern human users, privileged accounts, service accounts, workloads, applications, APIs, devices and increasingly autonomous AI agents. At the same time, cloud and hybrid environments are making access more distributed, dynamic and difficult to assess. Identity is becoming the control plane for authority: the layer that determines who or what can act, what they can reach, for how long and under whose accountability.
The programme examines how organisations can establish guardrails for expanding human and non-human identities, move from standing privilege towards contextual and just-in-time access, connect identity signals and attack paths to strengthen assurance, and give IAM greater influence across security, technology, risk, investment and business decision-making. It is designed around operational decisions and practical peer learning, rather than product demonstrations, so attendees can compare approaches and identify actions relevant to their own identity programmes.
Who should attend Identity & Access Management Sydney?
The event is designed for Directors and Heads of IAM, Identity Services leaders, IAM Managers, Identity Security Architects, IGA and PAM leaders, IAM product owners, identity lifecycle and authentication leads, Security Architects, Cloud Security leaders, Cyber Security Managers, AI Architects, Threat Engineering leaders, CISOs and Heads of Cyber Security. It is also relevant to digital identity, customer identity, fraud and identity teams where identity strategy crosses workforce and customer environments.
Why should I attend Identity & Access Management Sydney?
Attend Identity & Access Management Sydney to test how your identity strategy holds up as access becomes more dynamic, privilege becomes more contextual and non-human identities grow across cloud, automation and AI environments.
The event helps attendees move beyond basic authentication and access administration to examine larger questions of authority, assurance and accountability. Sessions explore how to discover and govern machine and AI identities, reduce standing privilege, connect entitlements and behaviour to identity risk, modernise legacy IAM without disrupting the business, strengthen identity operations, and build executive support for a broader IAM mandate.
Through case studies, practical presentations, panel discussions, networking and live scenario-based content, attendees can compare how peers are responding to identity sprawl, fragmented ownership, access-review complexity, privileged access, legacy platforms, user-experience pressures and the need to demonstrate business value. The focus is on decisions that identity leaders can apply after the event, not technology categories in isolation.
Identity & Access Management Sydney is also co-located with CISO Sydney, AppSec & DevSecOps Sydney and OT Security Sydney. This gives identity leaders a dedicated IAM programme while creating opportunities to connect with the security, engineering and operational leaders whose decisions increasingly shape identity outcomes.
How is Identity & Access Management Sydney different from broader cybersecurity events?
Identity & Access Management Sydney focuses specifically on the operational and strategic decisions behind identity, access, privilege and trust. Rather than treating IAM as a supporting control or a product category, the programme examines identity as the control plane for authority across human users, machines, workloads and AI agents. Its co-located format also connects IAM specialists with CISOs, application-security leaders and OT-security practitioners while preserving a dedicated identity programme.
What networking opportunities are available?
Identity & Access Management Sydney brings together senior IAM, cyber security and technology leaders who are working through many of the same challenges: identity sprawl, privilege, assurance, non-human identities, legacy modernisation and the evolving role of the IAM function.
Networking is built into the event experience through peer conversations, interactive discussions, breaks and shared exhibition-floor access. Attendees can compare operating models, discuss practical challenges and build relationships across the IAM community and the wider co-located cyber security audience.
The event expects to see 150+ attendees and 20+ speakers. The live agenda contains the latest confirmed sessions, formats and speakers for Identity & Access Management Sydney 2027.
Can vendors and solution providers attend?
Yes. People working for vendors, technology solution providers, consultancies and advisory organisations can attend using the vendor registration option. Organisations seeking deeper engagement with senior IAM and security decision-makers can separately explore sponsorship opportunities.
Identity & Access Management Sydney provides a focused environment for organisations supporting identity platforms, identity governance and administration, privileged access management, authentication, passwordless access, identity threat detection and response, machine identity, cloud identity and related advisory services. Sponsorship can help partners contribute expertise, build relevant relationships and position their capabilities within the identity decisions the audience is actively working through.

What are the focus topics for Identity & Access Management Sydney 2027?
The 2027 programme is built around four confirmed themes. Identity beyond the human examines guardrails for human, machine, workload and AI identities as visibility, authority and accountability gaps expand. The privilege paradox explores the shift from standing privilege towards contextual, just-in-time and adaptive access. Identity assurance focuses on confidence in who has access, what they can reach and how that access is used, drawing on identity signals and attack paths. The evolving IAM mandate considers how IAM can become a strategic capability with greater influence across security, technology, risk, investment and business decisions.
The agenda applies these themes to practical questions including identity observability, digital identity, AI agents, Zero Trust, identity-risk visibility, access for AI engineering, non-human identity populations and building the case for a larger IAM mandate.
