Federal Identity Forum and Exposition - Tampa, FL - September 25-27, 2018

1,200 Professionals • 300 Professionals from over 50 • Federal Agencies • 21 Countries • 75 Industry Exhibitors

The Federal Identity Forum & Exposition (FedID 18) heads back to Tampa, FL for 2018, following its co-location with the Homeland Security Conference in Washington, DC in 2017. The unique setting and opportunity in Tampa offers an immersive environment where identity professionals from the federal government and the private sector dedicate 3 continuous days to information sharing, strategic planning, and collaboration building.

  What is FedID designed to do?

  Promote a comprehensive understanding of current capabilities, pending needs, market trends and future directions of both the federal government and the entire identity community.

  Initiate and advance public-private and cross-discipline collaboration necessary for the continued advancement and appropriate application of identity and access management disciplines across all mission spaces.

  Provide the federal government with the opportunity to discover and understand solutions offered by industry.


  Connect

This year we are encouraging real-time information sharing, mutual mentoring, and conversations amongst members of the federal identity community via a new "Federal Identity" LinkedIn Group. And by following the Twitter page and using the hashtag #FedID to stay in the conversation.

  Network

A new "Meet-up" concept between now and September, whereby members of the federal identity can gather in the D.C. region to discuss a specific issue and/or network in a smaller, less formal manner leading up to the annual Forum and Expo. View the summary from the June 2018 meet-up.

  Attend

The FedID Forum and Expo will be hosted in Tampa, FL to encourage both exhibitors and attendees to "get away" for a few days and really concentrate on having strategic conversations that will create a foundation for the identity community to build on in the future.

“Innovation occurs so rapidly nowadays that our old model of relying on a massive annual conference for public-private dialogue and information sharing just won’t cut it any longer. We need to be sharing information and insights continuously, talking in-person more frequently, and really focusing on priority issues, strategic conversations, and networking when the entire community gathers together at FedID. These three areas of focus collectively help us meet those needs. We’re ready to get started!”
