Identity Week Europe is unveiling the members of this year’s Programme Committee, a selective taskforce of industry leaders, many of whom are long-standing partners, who will advise one of the world’s foremost identity-focused events.
The committee will have a critical role in advising us on the development of next year’s dynamic, cross-sector agenda that steps across verticals and borders. The team of leading experts is assembled from government, cybersecurity, and travel and draw from their direct expertise working with digital identity, document security, biometrics, and trust.
The committee helps ensure the event reflects both current challenges and emerging trends in the global identity landscape. Their guidance will help to curate a strong speaker line-up and focus content direction on innovation.
This year’s Programme Committee features three distinguished experts:
-
Martin Sandren, IAM Product Lead, IKEA
-
Stephen Chapman, Travel Document Consultant
-
Annet Steenbergen, Advisor, WEBUILD Consortium and Conference Chair
Collectively, the committee brings a wealth of first-hand experience in implementing and advising on trusted identity systems worldwide. Their involvement reaffirms the event’s high-impact discussions and thought leadership for stakeholders across the identity ecosystem.
Identity Week Europe returns on 9-10 June, 2026 with a strengthened focus on collaboration, innovation, and the future of trusted identity.
