KuppingerCole Analysts is proud to announce the successful conclusion of the European Identity and Cloud Conference (EIC) 2025, which took place in Berlin from May 6 to 9. Bringing together thousands of global leaders and innovators across identity, digital security, governance, privacy, and AI, this year’s event set a new benchmark for content quality, networking, and thought leadership in the digital identity space.
EIC 2025 welcomed a vibrant and diverse community - from enterprise decision-makers and public sector leaders to pioneering startups and academics - demonstrating why it continues to be Europe’s flagship event for digital identity and trust. With record-breaking attendance and strong positive feedback on the substance and depth of its sessions, the conference underscored the growing importance of secure, ethical, and human-centered digital ecosystems.
The conversations at EIC 2025 made it clear: Enterprise IAM strategies must be forward-looking, grounded in today’s realities but shaped by where Digital Identity is headed - including emerging developments like AIdentity. EIC remains the leading platform for thought leadership and best practices in this space.

The event’s opening day featured the annual EIC Awards, celebrating standout achievements in identity innovation. This year’s winners were:
• Stadt Zürich – Enterprise IAM Award
• SRG (Swiss Broadcasting Corporation) – Digital ID Award
• Stadt Zürich – Enterprise IAM Award
• SRG (Swiss Broadcasting Corporation) – Digital ID Award
In addition to four days of packed content - including deep-dive workshops, panel discussions, and interactive sessions - attendees enjoyed a series of signature community experiences. A sunset cruise along Berlin’s Spree River and the annual EIC morning run helped foster authentic connections and made for a conference atmosphere that was both energizing and unforgettable.
EIC 2025 proved that the future of digital identity is not just technical - it’s collaborative, cross-sector, and deeply human. As the conference closes its doors for this year, KuppingerCole Analysts is already looking ahead to what’s next. Planning is underway for EIC 2026, which will once again take place in Berlin. First details are now live at www.kuppingercole.com/events/eic2026, and early interest is already building.
