Sponsorship & Exhibitor Prospectus

Building on the success of the first Identity & Payments Summit in February 2024, where diverse organizations and individuals came together to share implementation experiences, collaborate, network and educate colleagues on topics related to identity, access and payments and how those industries are converging, the Secure Technology Alliance is pleased to announce the second Identity & Payments Summit, taking place in San Diego, CA in February 2025.

The 2025 Identity and Payments Summit will be the most comprehensive and diverse gathering of secure technology-focused organizations and professionals in North America – from silicon manufacturers to consumers and everyone in between!

In addition, Secure Technology Alliance members will also have access to member only sessions and working committee breakout meetings that will be held on Monday, February 24th, 2025.

In addition to systems providers delivering identity and access solutions, we have relying parties that work with the issued credentials. Attendees also represent companies that are technology or solutions providers that work with companies in the broad identity or payments ecosystem. Titles range from C-suite executives to operations management, to marketing, to product management and engineering. Alliance working committees have a cross-section of subject matter experts representing every aspect of identity, access, and payments challenges and best practices.
