The Identity Underground Summit 2026
London
Event Description
November 11–12, 2026
The Ned, London
27 Poultry, London EC2R 8AJ, United Kingdom
We're bringing our global community of identity security leaders together, in person, to connect and collaborate.
The Identity Underground Summit is where the most pressing challenges in identity security get the depth they deserve. This is a members-only, practitioner-first event, with a day full of real conversations between the people actually doing the work and the executives setting the direction.
What makes this summit different is who's in the room. Practitioners and executives from leading organizations sit side by side — sharing what's working, debating what isn't, and building a clearer picture of where identity is headed. That mix of perspectives doesn't happen at most conferences. It happens here.
Expect candid keynotes, working breakouts, CISO panels, and expert analysts, all set against a historic backdrop in London.
Unlock the Future of Identity
Join the Identity Underground Summit: Shaping the Future of Identity Security
Practitioner-Led Content
Every session is led by working identity professionals — no vendor pitches. Hear directly from IAM leaders at Fortune 500 companies sharing what's actually working and what isn't.
Small, Curated Community
Space is limited, intentionally. Every person in the room is a peer — CISOs, CIOs, VPs, Security Engineers, Security Architects, and Directors and Managers of Identity who speak your language and face your challenges.
Deep-Dive Format
Choose your own path through breakout sessions designed for real depth. Walk away with actionable frameworks, not just talking points.
Exclusive Networking
The connections you build here go beyond the sessions. From the welcome reception to the evening events, the relationships you leave with are often the most valuable thing you'll take home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Getting to the Summit
The Ned is located in the heart of the City of London — one of the most well-connected locations in Europe. The nearest Tube stations are Bank (Central, Northern, and Waterloo & City lines) and Mansion House (District and Circle lines), both just a short walk away. If you're traveling from outside London, St Pancras International (Eurostar), Heathrow, and Gatwick all connect directly into central London. Taxis and ride-share services (Uber, Bolt) are also readily available.
Where to Stay
The Ned itself offers hotel rooms for guests, and is conveniently located near many lodging options. The City of London also has a wide range of hotel options nearby to suit different preferences and budgets. We recommend booking early, as November is a busy time in the city. Details on any discounted room availability will be shared with registered attendees.
What's Included With Your Ticket
Your ticket includes access to all main stage sessions, keynotes, panels, and breakout sessions on November 12th, plus the Day 1 welcome reception on the evening of November 11th. All hosted meals and refreshments are included — breakfast, lunch, networking breaks, and the evening reception. You'll also receive a copy of Eve Maler's book, available for signing at the event.
What is the dress code for the summit?
Business casual. The Ned is a beautifully restored space with a naturally elevated atmosphere, so smart casual fits perfectly. Think polished and comfortable — blazers welcome, suits not required. London in November can be cold and wet, so bring a warm layer for travel between venues.
Things to do in London
You're in one of the world's great cities — there's no shortage of things to explore. The Ned sits in the City of London, steps from St Paul's Cathedral, the Tate Modern, Borough Market, and the Thames. If you have time before or after the summit, consider visiting Shoreditch for art and food, the West End for theatre, or simply walking across Tower Bridge. November in London has a charm of its own — festive lights, cosy pubs, and world-class museums all within easy reach.
