Identity & Payments:
Security Trends in the Digital Era

Feb. 24-26, 2025 • San Diego

The Identity and Payment Summit will bring together leaders from the payments, identity and access communities to tackle industry challenges head-on, share first hand how those challenges impact each stakeholder, and provide a platform for all parties to learn and benefit from a more robust ecosystem. Together, we can not just address issues, we can transform the landscape across all industries. Join us in San Diego this February.

What is The Summit?

It is the annual event where identity, access, and payments converge. Thought leaders, innovators, fortune 500 companies, and start-ups meet in one place to chart the course for a more secure digital world.

As a member-driven organization, the Secure Technology Alliance embraces convergence, pushing identity and payments forward. It’s two forums – the Identity and Access Forum and the U.S. Payments Forum – join together at the Summit to explore the cross-market technologies and issues.
