Authenticate Event Team

Authenticate, the inaugural FIDO conference, will be postponed from its original date of June 2-3. The good news is we have secured a date later this year in the same location in Seattle, WA. 

Authenticate 2020 will now take place on November 9-10, 2020, with the FIDO Alliance member plenary following on November 11-12. Please visit www.authenticatecon.com for the latest information and to register. 

The industry response to Authenticate has been outstanding on all fronts. We had nearly four times the amount of speaking submissions than we had available sessions, which allowed us to put together a highly compelling agenda with some of the brightest minds in authentication. Also, sponsorships are nearly sold out – with all expo space now reserved. Lastly, registration has trended well above projections, which would point to a potential sell-out for this inaugural event. 

Our hope is that the threat of COVID-19 will have dissipated by this fall and that we’ll be able to bring forward all of the above enthusiasm to our new dates. 

We greatly appreciate the support and enthusiasm from the broader FIDO Community, and we’re looking forward to a successful event in November. Until then, we hope everyone stays safe and well. If any questions about Authenticate, contact authenticate@fidoalliance.org.
