## What this conference is for

The European Identity & Cloud Conference (EIC), run by analyst firm KuppingerCole, is Europe's premier identity event. Held in Berlin each spring, it blends analyst research with practitioner sessions across [IAM](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/iam/), [CIAM](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ciam/), [IGA](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/iga/), Zero Trust, and decentralized identity, with unusually strong coverage of European regulation and the EU Digital Identity Wallet.

## Who should attend

European identity leaders and architects, anyone navigating [eIDAS 2.0](https://startwithidentity.com/glossary/eidas/), [NIS2](https://startwithidentity.com/guides/compliance/identity-controls-for-nis2/), or [DORA](https://startwithidentity.com/guides/compliance/identity-controls-for-dora/), and practitioners who value analyst perspective alongside real-world case studies. It is the best single event for the European regulatory and verifiable-credentials conversation.

## What to expect

Analyst keynotes and frameworks, deep tracks on governance and decentralized identity, and a strong European vendor presence. EIC is where the EU wallet and verifiable-credentials ecosystem is debated most seriously.

## Coverage

We cover EIC in full, with emphasis on the European regulatory and standards threads most relevant to our readers.
