Exclusive Experiences to Digital Identity Week 2026
Organisations Represented at last year's Digital Identity Week
Hear what our Past Attendees had to say
Digital Transformation Leader JPAC & ASIA ex-Sanofi
I had the pleasure of attending this year’s Digital Identity Week and stepping into the role of moderator for the final session on Day 1, all sessions on Day 2, and serving as Day 2 chair. A warm thank you for the opportunity, it was a truly enriching experience. As a first-time attendee, I was genuinely impressed by the depth of engagement and expertise in the room. It’s clear that organisations are in capable hands as they navigate the acceleration of digital identity and its many dimensions. I look forward to reconnecting next year and continuing the conversation.
Cyber Security Analyst
The Digital Identity week was an amazing and interesting event. Bringing together a range of professionals within the Digital Identity space, there were informative expert panels and a range of opportunities to have engaging and meaningful conversations with others.
Senior Manager, Identity and Access Management Insignia Financial
I'm grateful to the IQPC team for the opportunity to participate as a speaker at this event this year and in 2024. I look forward to another high quality event next year
Solution Architect, Service NSW
Thanks Digital Identity week for introducing me to Verifiable Credentials. This could radically change the way we deal with staff and customer identity.
Product Manager, Telstra Limited
Absolutely loved Digital week, unfortunately could not spend as much time as I wanted, however seeing the vendors and development of tools in this area was very intriguing and providing so many opportunities to connect and partner up. Big thanks to the team for making me feel very welcome and connecting me with some strategic partners.
