What: Gartner Identity & Access Management (IAM) Summit 2009
When: 23-24 March
Where: Royal Lancaster Hotel, London, UK
Details: Relatively few businesses in Europe have a formal IAM programme in place and more than a quarter are still defining processes and using only basic tools. To reach maturity, companies must refine and optimise their IAM processes and integrate tools within the strategic framework of IAM
At the Gartner Identity & Access Management Summit 2009, 12 leading Gartner analysts will explore IAM as it moves towards maturity and its potential to realise benefits in cost reduction, regulatory compliance and IT governance. In addition, they will address three crucial challenges:
1. Evolving IAM tactics in line with strategic goals - without large-scale, expensive technical projects
2. Supporting governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) through IAM
3. IAM in the context of the economic downturn
Over two days, the Summit features more than 35 sessions in three tracks:
- Maximise Value Through Sound IAM Programme Management
- Manage Costs and Complexity with an Effective IAM Infrastructure
- Innovate to Sustain the Success of your IAM Programme
In addition, this year's Summit offers a virtual track bringing together Gartner's latest advice and expertise on GRC.
