SEATTLE, August 17, 2021 — Authenticate, the FIDO Alliance’s industry conference dedicated to the who, what, why and how of modern user authentication, today announced its full 2021 agenda. This three-day event, which takes place October 18-20 in Seattle and also with remote attendance options, will help educate attendees on business drivers, technical considerations, and overall best practices for deploying modern authentication systems.
The Authenticate 2021 agenda features:

Modern authentication systems and standards have emerged to provide more efficient ways for organizations to provide strong security and better interactions with their brands,” said Andrew Shikiar, executive director and CMO of the FIDO Alliance. “The FIDO Alliance encourages organizations of all sizes to prioritize stronger security, and it is our mission to share the tools and resources to help them get there. This year’s agenda delivers on that mission, providing attendees with a strong foundation for deploying simpler, stronger authentication.”
