HIP Conference 2024
The Hybrid Identity Protection (HIP) Conference

The HIP Community
Is About You

Hybrid Identity Protection (HIP) is built for the real work of identity security. Preventing avoidable mistakes. Responding under pressure. Making smarter decisions across business, operational, and technical teams.

Whether you lead strategy, manage risk, architect systems, or defend them hands-on, HIP Conf helps you do your job with confidence.

You’ll hear how others are solving the same problems you face, strengthen the skills that matter most, and build relationships that last long after the conference ends.

HIP Conference 2024

Join forces with global identity security experts

We’re stronger together.

You can’t solve identity security challenges in isolation.

HIP Conf puts you in the room with experts, practitioners, and leaders who understand the stakes and are willing to share what they’ve learned.

Powered by the experts behind the global HIP community, this event brings together practical identity security experience, honest lessons learned, and a shared commitment to helping each other stay ahead.

Resilience Beyond Recovery

What do you need to reduce risk, respond faster, and lead better in the real world?

When you join us at HIP Conf 26, you’ll come back with fewer dead ends, better answers, and more confidence in the decisions you make next.

Masterclasses that help you harden and modernize identity systems before failure turns to crisis.


Security research that exposes emerging attack paths so you can close gaps faster.


Crisis management that keeps teams focused when every second counts.


CISO sessions that connect identity risk to business decisions, leadership communication, and resilience planning.


Keynotes that widen the lens on cyber resilience, human behavior, and what’s coming next.


All of this—in a setting that lets you forge lasting relationships and strengthen our collective defenses.

HIP is the only place you can find this many people who can dive this deep into identity management and identity protection.

David Rowe | Active Directory Security Engineer, Harvard University

This is my second year attending the HIP conference. It’s been one of the best conferences I’ve ever been to because of the highly technical, like-minded individuals.

Calien Fales-Jusel | Solutions Architect, Apollo Global Management

It’s really interesting to have conversations with experts that I otherwise would never get a chance to interact with.

Miles Gratz | Security Implementations Services Senior Analyst, Accenture

At HIP there are a lot of engineers who are able to provide different points of views, share problems they’ve incurred, and offer solutions to those problems.
