Digital Identity Alliance - May Event

In the professional realm, there are abundant opportunities for executives to connect and collaborate through dinners, summits, and networking events. However, we've identified a gap in the provision of similar platforms for those at the operational level—architects, engineers, and technical leads—who play a crucial role in decision-making within organizations.

The "Digital Identity Alliance - SoCal" (DIA) is designed to bridge this gap by creating a dedicated platform for IAM practicioners to cultivate a trusted community, stay informed, and function as a sounding board.

Our primary goal in establishing this group is to ensure that IAM practitioners, irrespective of their company's size, have access to a trusted community for learning and collaboration. We believe that such an environment can benefit everyone, from seasoned professionals to those just starting their careers.
