The FIDO Alliance announced the return of Authenticate, the only industry conference dedicated to all aspects of user authentication – including a focus on FIDO-based sign-ins. Authenticate 2023, featuring sponsors Google, Microsoft, and Yubico, will be held October 16-18, 2023 at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, CA, just North of San Diego.
What can be expected of 2023 Authenticate?
Aimed at Chief Information Security Officers, security strategists, enterprise architects, and product and business leaders, this is the fourth straight year that the FIDO Alliance is hosting the public conference. The annual event is specifically designed to share education, tools, and best practices for modern authentication across web, enterprise, and govt applications.
Last year’s Seattle conference sold out for in-person attendance, welcoming more than 950 total attendees and remotely. The event featured over 100 sessions with highly engaging content, plus a sold-out exhibit area with 30 industry-leading exhibitors and sponsors.
Authenticate 2023 will build upon this foundation and feature detailed case studies, tutorials, expert panels, and lab sessions aimed at helping educate attendees on business drivers, technical considerations, and best practices for deploying modern authentication systems. Attendees also benefit from a dynamic expo hall and engaging networking opportunities.
