About this event

Let’s start the conversation.

Join us for the launch of the IAM4SME project to get a chance to discover the project, exchange perspectives, and start the conversation about practical identity and access management.

IAM4SME connects research and practice to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make informed choices about Identity and Access Management (IAM). This first event introduces the project and brings that conversation into the room.
