Identiverse is an event that started as a small gathering of identity industry professionals and leaders in Keystone, CO back in 2010. By the time it reached Chicago in 2017, CIS had grown into the premier identity and security event, reflecting the growth of the industry by covering topics beyond just cloud identity. Our growing community of delegates, speakers and sponsors told us that we needed to embrace this evolution. So on June 21, 2017, our founder, Andre Durand, announced the new Identiverse name during his keynote in Chicago (watch the announcement here). Identiverse may be our new name, but CIS will live on in the core of what we do.
We'll continue to grow as an event and as a year-round community, and we'll continue to anchor the identity industry with high-quality, vendor-neutral content, compelling keynotes, in-depth technical workshops and master classes, and unrivalled access to the best vendors across the industry.
