Inaugural event will be the first of its kind to welcome experts in payments, identity and access in a single location in North America.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., August 2, 2023 – In today’s hyperconnected, technology-driven marketplace the lines between industries often overlap. The Secure Technology Alliance is embracing this convergence by expanding the focus of its annual conference. Following 15 years of success, the Alliance is thrilled to announce that its Payments Summit has evolved into the Identity & Payments Summit!

The change gives a wider array of industry professionals access to the educational sessions and unparalleled networking opportunities the Summit is known for. The scope of the conference now includes payments, identity, and access and their impact on vertical markets including transportation, healthcare, government, education and finance. It will provide attendees with actionable guidance for developing cutting-edge technologies and executing effective implementation strategies.

The Identity & Payments Summit will be held February 26^th through the 28th, 2024, at the beautiful Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa in Tucson, Arizona. The conference will precede two Alliance members-only meetings hosted by its U.S. Payments and Identity and Access Forums. Registration details can be found at https://www.stasummit.com/registration/.

“The central theme of the upcoming Summit will be ‘Trust, security and privacy in a hyperconnected world’. We believe that payments, identity and access are intrinsically linked through technology,” said Jason Bohrer, executive director of the Secure Technology Alliance. “Moving forward, the event will leverage the full breadth of the Alliance member community. It will be a place for secure identity professionals in various sectors to explore how their industries intersect. We’re creating a unique space to learn from one another, work through challenges, and facilitate cross-industry technological innovation.”
