On September 18, 2025, KuppingerCole Analysts will host Identity Fabric Impact Day in Munich — a one-day event focused on building scalable, resilient IAM architectures. With real-world case studies, expert panels, and strategic guidance, the event explores how modern identity fabrics enable Zero Trust, decentralized identity, and governance at scale.
KuppingerCole Analysts will bring together identity, IT, and security professionals for Identity Fabric Impact Day 2025 on September 18 in Munich, Germany. This focused, one-day conference will explore how organizations can modernize Identity and Access Management (IAM) through the Identity Fabric approach — a modular, adaptive architecture for managing human, machine, and hybrid identities across complex, multi-cloud environments.
You can’t manage today’s identity landscape with yesterday’s architecture, said Matthias Reinwarth, IAM Practice Director at KuppingerCole, who will open the event with a keynote on the impact of modern architecture paradigms on dynamic IAM landscapes.

A Glimpse at the Agenda
The day’s agenda brings together forward-thinking voices and practical case studies from across industries. Among the featured sessions:
- Keynote: Julian Schwarzkopf (Trade Republic), “Beyond Roles – Rethinking IAM in a Data-Driven World”: This session will offer a bold perspective on how traditional role-based access models must evolve to meet the demands of real-time, data-centric enterprises.
- Session: Christian Egli (SBB AG) “Trust Frameworks – A Key to Integrating Partner and Machine Identities into Your Identity Fabric”: Drawing on lessons from SBB AG’s Machine Identity Initiative and B2B ecosystem, this session explores how trust frameworks, such as those defined by NIST, can help organizations securely integrate external and non-human identities where traditional IAM systems fall short.
- Panel: “Smart IAM at Scale - Designing for Agility Without Regret”: The pressure to modernize IAM fast can lead to architectures that scale…until they don’t. This panel brings together seasoned experts to explore how to build identity systems that are both future-proof and scalable - without falling into the trap of brittle integrations, vendor lock-in, or unmanageable sprawl. Learn how to design IAM that evolves with your organization, not against it.
- Panel: “Beyond Employees: Evolving IAM for B2B, Dynamic Workforce, and Non-Human Identities”: The session will explore how the Identity Fabric enables unified control and lifecycle management across all identity types — from employees and external partners to APIs, bots, and workloads — without introducing friction or fragmentation.
Also on the agenda are two interactive workshops scheduled for after the lunch break.
A One-Day Event, Built for Real Change
Designed to be highly actionable, Identity Fabric Impact Day includes parallel breakout tracks, hands-on sessions, and networking breaks that give attendees time to connect and exchange ideas, in person, with peers. Whether you’re working on IGA modernization, zero trust implementation, or the governance of non-human identities, the event promises clarity on how to architect identity that scales.
