Gartner’s Identity & Access Management Summit returns to London on 9–10 March 2026, bringing together security leaders, IAM architects and technology decision-makers at a moment when identity has quietly become the backbone of almost everything digital. Over two concentrated days, the summit focuses on how identity now sits at the center of cybersecurity strategy, cloud adoption, zero-trust programs and the accelerating use of AI across enterprises. The agenda is built around practical, research-driven insight rather than hype, with sessions exploring identity governance, access management, authentication, privileged access, and the growing challenge of managing machine and non-human identities as automation scales. A recurring undercurrent throughout the event is how organizations can simplify overly complex IAM stacks while still improving resilience, visibility and control, a tension many teams feel daily. Attendees also get direct access to Gartner analysts for Q&A and discussion, which tends to be where some of the most valuable, quietly opinionated guidance surfaces, usually between slides rather than on them. Set in London, the summit doubles as a networking hub for European security leaders comparing notes on regulation, AI readiness and operational reality, making it less about shiny tools and more about how identity actually works when theory meets production systems, logs start filling up, and something eventually goes wrong.
