What this conference is for
Navigate is SailPoint's annual identity security conference. The 2026 flagship runs October 5 to 8 in Austin, Texas, across two downtown hotels, under the theme "AI, secured". SailPoint expects more than 4,000 attendees globally, 220 sessions, 75 customer speakers, and 85 sponsors. After Austin, Navigate tours to Toronto, London, Sydney, Sao Paulo, Singapore, and Tokyo in October and November 2026.
Who should attend
SailPoint customers and teams evaluating it for identity governance, plus partners. As a single-vendor event, it is where SailPoint sets out its roadmap for governing human, machine, and AI agent identities; weigh that against independent analysis such as our best IGA tools ranking.
What to expect
Keynotes, product deep dives, breakout masterclasses, an expo, and community events such as Women in Identity. Customer case studies are usually the most transferable content.
Coverage
We cover the highlights, focusing on announcements that matter beyond the SailPoint customer base, such as how governance tools are extending to non-human identity.
