Last Year's Attendees say:
Once again, it was a real pleasure to attend the EIC event for 2025 in Berlin in person. This time, it was even better because I participated as a member of KuppingerCole Analysts AG, with the new membership registration. We at Scytáles AB saw this as a great offer and a valuable contribution to our work and planning. It’s so much more than just a ticket to the event; there is no doubt that it was the best choice!
The same applies to the event itself, which is undoubtedly one of the best every year, offering a wealth of insightful information, market trends, and educational opportunities for all participants, from seniors to newcomers.
Thank you, KCA team, and see you next year!

Last Year's Attendees say:
We felt EIC was a highly relevant event with plenty of seasoned, technical identity leaders in attendance. The event also brought together plenty of people from across the identity community, including analysts, channel partners, and consultants—it was beneficial for us to engage with all these stakeholders and learn about localized and industry-specific trends in the identity space.
